When I create a new Excel object within a Word document, I can't make the
individual cell borders disappear completely. If I'm in standalone Excel,
selecting all the cells and removing the borders works fine (Format Cells,
Borders, None); but if I create a new Excel object within a Word document,
it'll allegedly let me delete the cell borders the same way, but the borders
remain visible in the printed version regardless.

I have seen this happen with various embedded Excel tables, without any
obvious reason. However, when it has happened, I double click on the Excel
table to get into it, then click Tools > Options and on the View tab uncheck
Gridlines.
