[Solved] Gridlines in LibreOffice Writer

Post by martin 72652 »

I am running nth latest update to LibreOffice Writer under Windows 10 64 bit with all updates installed. I cannot get the gridlines to appear, even in a new blank document. When I click on Display Grid, nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Thank you all for the help. I tried the search for grid, but couldn't find the way to make the grid black because I was looking under Tools Options LibreOffice Writer Grid instead of in the correct place. I have discovered that if you change the spacing to 20 instead of 4 or 10, the dots turn into lines. Then it doesn't matter what color you use- red lines work just as well as black, and other colors work as well. Thanks again for the replies.
