print gridlines in numbers

I am using Apples application Numbers

I used a Table Style

Customised the spreadsheet as required

I go to print it

On my print Preview I have all the headers, footers, gridlines all showing me how my print will look

I print it

No Gridlines and it is very annoying as I need those lines going across each row.


I cannot find out anything on how to get these gridlines to print

Can you help me.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)

Hi Mizzbonni,


A Numbers table can have gridlines and/or cell borders.

Gridlines are table properties, controlled in Format Panel > Table > Gridlines.

(To be honest, I don't bother with gridlines. I don't really understand how they work, so I use cell borders.)


Cell borders are cell properties. I use them because I understand them better.

Select the cells where you want to edit cell borders. I find the easiest way is to select the whole table (click on the table to make it active, then click on the "bullseye" top left).

Format Panel > Cell > Border

Choose all cells (the top right icon, highlighted in blue).

I use solid black borders, 1 pt.

Here is my default table from a custom template

The cell borders show on the screen and they show when printed.

Ian.
