When using WPS Grid Lines on macOS, common questions usually involve display results, printing expectations, and worksheet scope; this FAQ includes 3 frequent questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
What is the difference between grid lines and cell borders?
- Grid lines are worksheet display guides that help identify cell positions.
- Cell borders are actual formatting settings and are part of the worksheet content style.
- Turning off grid lines does not remove borders, and setting borders does not automatically change grid line visibility.
Does turning off grid lines affect printing?
- Turning off grid lines usually affects only the on-screen display.
- This action does not change the data stored in cells.
- If you want visible lines in output, set cell borders separately.
Why did only one worksheet change after I adjusted grid lines?
- Grid line visibility changes apply only to the current worksheet.
- If you want to show or hide grid lines in other worksheets, open each worksheet and adjust it separately.
- You can use the View tab or Display Settings again after switching worksheets.
