  1. Might be because of the age of the article but when converting from excel to Google Spreadsheet, the Open file option gives a choice of options and the only way to get to your local drive is via the Upload button

  2. I converted from Google Spreadsheet to Excel Spreadsheet using the above method, and part of my gridlines disappeared — not all of them — just part of them.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

  3. Interesting. I haven’t experienced this before. When you refer to gridlines, are you referring to borders? I wonder if this is related to a formatting issue.
