How-to Guide

1. Quickly show or hide grid lines (View tab)

Entry: View tab → Show Gridlines

  1. Open the worksheet that you want to edit.
  2. Click the View tab at the top of the window.
  3. Find the Show Gridlines checkbox in the display area.
  4. Select the checkbox to show grid lines, or clear it to hide grid lines.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: the gray dividing lines between cells appear or disappear immediately.
  • Next step available: you can continue editing cells, applying borders, or opening print preview.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: do not confuse worksheet grid lines with cell borders, because borders remain visible separately.
  • Environment note: this setting mainly affects the current viewing result.

2. Show or hide grid lines from the File menu

Entry: File menu → Options → View → Gridlines

  1. Click the File menu.
  2. Click Options.
  3. Switch to the View panel.
  4. Select or clear Gridlines in the display area.
  5. Confirm the setting and return to the worksheet to check the result.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: worksheet grid lines are shown or hidden based on your setting.
  • Next step available: you can continue adjusting worksheet appearance through other view or page setup options.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if you do not see a change, confirm that you are working in a spreadsheet worksheet instead of another WPS component.

3. Change gridline color in Options

Entry: File menu → Options → View → Window Options → Gridline Color

  1. Click the File menu.
  2. Click Options.
  3. Switch to the View panel.
  4. In Window Options, find Gridline Color.
  5. Open the color list and choose the color you want.
  6. Click OK to save the setting.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: the worksheet gridline color changes to the selected color.
  • Next step available: you can continue reviewing the sheet, adjusting borders, or checking the page before printing.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if cells already have strong borders, those borders may visually cover the grid lines.

4. Show grid lines when printing

Entry: Page Layout tab → Page Setup → Sheet → Gridlines

  1. Open the worksheet that you want to print.
  2. Click the Page Layout tab.
  3. Open the Page Setup dialog box.
  4. Switch to the Sheet tab.
  5. Select Gridlines.
  6. Click OK, then open print preview or print the worksheet.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: grid lines appear in print preview or in the printed output.
  • Next step available: you can continue adjusting margins, orientation, or other print settings.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: hiding grid lines on screen does not automatically mean they will be hidden in print output; printing is controlled separately in Page Setup.
