I've now found a better fix: Step one; highlight the area where the grid lines are missing. (Or the whole sheet, should you wish. Start by testing on a spare sheet or an area... )
Step two; right click on the area and select "Format Cells" from the popup menu. Step three; select the "Background" tab of the Format Cells dialogue. Step four; above the background colour selection table there is a full width box displaying the words "No Fill". Click on this to select it. (The outline doubles when selected.) Step five; Click the "Ok" button on the Format Cells dialogue. The dialogue will close and your grid lines will have returned, without text or number formatting parameters being changed. (This *will* affect any background or fill colours that you have previously set. Please test carefully on a copy sheet if you are using these.) -- openoffice 2.4 spreadsheet grid lines missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
