Formatting with Gridlines

While the Border method offers control over the line weight and color of the

lines, the Gridlines method is simpler for basic grid paper.

From the File menu, select Page Setup. In the Page Setup dialog, there are four

tabs across the top. Select the right-most tab called Sheet. On the Sheet tab, in

the second section under Print, click the checkbox for Gridlines.

Configuring Print Settings

Whether you used the Gridlines option or Borders, you will want to make some

settings to the Page Setup to maximize the printed area on the page.

1. Set the margins.
   From the menu, select File → Page Setup. On the Page Setup dialog, choose
   the Margins tab. The default margins on the page might be one inch at the
   top and bottom, three-fourths of an inch on the left and right.
