FAQ

Why can I see gridlines on screen, but they do not appear in print?

1. Open the worksheet and confirm that Print Gridlines is enabled in the Page tab.
2. Then open Print Preview and check whether the Gridlines option is in the state you need.
3. If gridlines still do not appear in preview, check system print settings or use borders for stronger printed lines.

What is the difference between print gridlines and cell borders?

1. Print gridlines are the worksheet's default grid structure shown during printing.
2. Cell borders are manually applied formatting and usually provide stronger, customizable lines.
3. If you need a more formal document style, use borders first. If you only need to keep worksheet structure visible quickly, use Print Gridlines.

Why is it helpful to check Print Preview before printing?

1. Print Preview lets you confirm whether gridlines will appear in the final output.
2. At the preview stage, you can also check pagination, scaling, and page layout.
3. Confirming the result before printing can reduce repeated printing and paper waste.
