I am trying to enter a new task using copied material from a spreadsheet
keeping the gridlines. Although it does copy, it does not allow me to type
into the gridlines. How can I copy a small portion of an excel document and
then make changes in my task?
 
No, it's not a picture. I have a very large spreadsheet (which has
gridlines) that I want to cut/paste into a task. It takes the words, but not
the gridlines..

It's only a small portion of the large spreadsheet that I want to post

oh. you need to apply borders. True gridlines are just for viewing.

In Outlook 2007, look on the layout ribbon - you can enable view gridlines
(you need to be in one of the cells to see the ribbon tab) or select the
entire table and right click, borders and shading. Older versions should
have the same options.

Or you can add borders in Excel.

Hmm. That is weird. Which version of Outlook and Excel? Does it put a
border around each cell or a group of cells?

Outlook 2003 and I don't know about Excel. The bordes I have in excel are
around each cell but I can change the borders any way I like.
