Need Grid Lines to be ON-TOP of fill color

[talisman77]

I was using Open Office for awhile and was able to put the grid lines on top of the fill color with one easy button....Is it possible to do the same with Excel?

I have version 2010

Thank you

This should be possible - what is your problem?

There is no proper button to click to bring the grid lines to the front....I have been messing with it and I can select the whole sheet and use the Format Cells window. Then hit the "inside" button and color the grid lines so they appear on top of the filled color in my columns....Seems that there should be a default somewhere to keep the grid lines on top if a guy wanted them there...like me!

Also, there is no "Select All" button....how do you select all without capturing the whole page with the curser?

Regards!

I just found the select all button......Now all I need is for the grid lines to be on top of my fill color....

Filling a cell obscures the gridlines around that cell. The only workaround
is to use borders on that cell.

Thank you very much for the reply!...A guy would think that Microsoft would have everything covered but apparently not. It seems like such a practical thing to have access to. Just because a guy puts a fill color in a column or a row doesn't mean that he no longer needs the grid lines...Kindergarten!......I wish Open Office had some of the calculation abilities of Excel....I would have just stayed with that program.
