It's very disconcerting.Sounds like he has been playing with cell borders ("bold" == thick) and/or cell background colours using Format / Cells / (Border or Background). Note that borders and gridlines aren't the same thing. Borders are a property of each cell, displaying/hiding gridlines is a worksheet property which AFAICT affects only cell borders which haven't been changed from their default.Another thing is some of the grid lines that exist are bold, some are not. How did he do that?How can I get grid lines back?Change whatever border / background effects you don't like.You may want to check for each worksheet what the gridline status is: switch to target worksheet, click on Format, click on Sheet. Gnumeric displays a tick next to "Hide Gridlines" if they are hidden using this method. Repeated clicking on Hide Gridlines cycles the state through (on, off).Format, Sheet, Hide Gridlines is not checked so it's not that. I tried toggling Hide Gridlines and it just toggled all the gridlines, but the ones blanked out did not come back.I suspect Format, Cells, Border but I don't how to modify the lines. I tried selecting a section of the file with no gridlines and then selected a line thickness from the palette but no gridlines appeared.What to do?Can you send us a test file (you can remove all data, just keep the formats)?
