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.)
