Fixing selected gridlines when importing a excel spreadsheet to a word document

How do you keep certain gridlines in an excel document when inserted to a word document?

    If you choose to embed the Excel object or convert it into a screenshot, keep in mind that you will have editing limitations directly within Word. Be very precise when selecting which borders to show in Excel; this will determine which gridlines are visible when pasted into Word. After pasting the table into Word, you may want to adjust the table properties in Word if needed, including cell padding, alignment, and overall table styling.
