Step by step

  1. Install LightningXL

    Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.

  2. Select what to act on

    Click a cell, or select the range the command should apply to.

  3. Tap Option, then type H V B

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the key tips, then H for Home, V for Paste, B for No Borders.

What Alt H V B does

No Borders sits under Home › Paste on the Excel ribbon. On Windows, Alt H V B runs it from the keyboard. Excel for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Home › Paste › No Borders instead.
