FAQ

What is the difference between print gridlines and borders?

1. Gridlines are the default worksheet reference lines that help identify row and column structure.
2. Borders are formatting lines that users add manually to cells, with separate style and thickness options.
3. If you need a stronger printed effect, borders may be more suitable. If you only need the basic worksheet structure, print gridlines are often enough.

Why do gridlines still not appear in the printed result after I turn them on?

1. First, make sure you turned on Print Gridlines, not just on-screen gridlines in the editing view.
2. Then open Print Preview and check the current page range, scaling, and print settings.
3. If gridlines still do not appear, adjust page settings or use borders to strengthen the printed lines.

Do print gridlines apply to only part of a worksheet?

1. This setting usually applies to the printed output of the current worksheet.
2. If the print area includes only part of the data, the visible result follows the actual print area.
3. If you need more specific line control for selected cells, add borders to those cells directly.
