Numbers spreadsheets show very faint grid lines

Hope someone out there can help with this strange problem. I can only se the grid lines on the numbers basic spreadsheet with great difficulty. It's the same for most other templates expect the brown one which show up fine for some reason! I've recalibrated the Mac to ensure colours are good, but can't find a way in numbers to make the grid lines darker. Can anyone help? It must be a problem for me only as my partner uses this Mac with no problems in his spreadsheets!!!

Hmm, if that wasn't a typo and you really meant "this Mac" (as you typed), not "his Mac" then I don't know why yours would be different from your partner's unless you or your partner changed border colors/thickness as some point.
You can set the cell border line thickness and color in two places. One is on the toolbar and the other is in the Table inspector . It would probably be easier to understand if you read about it in the User's Manual rather than me trying to give step by step instructions here.

Is there a way to have a Numbers spreadsheet show the row numbers on ipad?

I am have a spreadsheet I am using for keeping count of the current people registered for an event.
If there a way to have one of the columns automatically show the row numbers so I can easily see the amount of people confirmed for the event without having to manually count them? Also, I will be adding and deleting lines and need Numbers to automatically show the row numbers without me having to change it.
Thanks,
Mike

I found it out:
inserted a new column A
a --
In A1 type 1
in A2 type 2
select the pair A1:A2
drag the circular handle from the bottom right of A2 thru the very bottom of the column.
b --
in A1 type =ROW()
select the cell A1
drag the circular handle from the bottom right of A1 thru the very bottom of the column.

I have zinced songs from my PC to my iPad and it has copied all the songs on my pc but some are showing very faintly on my iPad and these songs will not play. I have tried to delete them but they will not stay hilighted and show delete to enable me to do

Can anyone help me to delete the faintly listed songs on my iPad which I have transferred from my Pc but they will not play on my iPad.

Thanks for trying to help me.
First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music." OK, great, but where do i find such box? Is that on the iphone or in itunes? Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone. I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes. When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music". When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library."
So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen? I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync?
Is now the time to buy a Zune?!? For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up.
Thanks, John

Interactive report showing vertical grid lines

Has anyone adjusted an interactive report so that it shows the vertical grid lines? I see the horizontal lines by default but I am thinking the vertical lines will make my data easier to read. Just can't figure how to do that.

Hello Edward,
@Jeff Eberhard has a good solution for showing vertical grid lines.
Here is the solution for whole grid for interactive report to be included in the Region Header/Region Footer/Page HTML Header:
<style>
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
        border-width: 2px;
     border-spacing: 0px;
     border-style: solid;
     border-color: black;
     border-collapse: collapse;
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA th {
        border-width: 1px;
     padding: 4px;
     border-style: solid;
     border-color: black;
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
        border-width: 1px;
     padding: 4px;
     border-style: solid;
     border-color: black;
</style>Hope it helps!
Regards,
Kiran

DV export problems with grid line noise on export

On exporting in Premier Pro CC I am seeing faint grid lines across the whole picture that are not in the project timeline or the source clips - in other words looks fine in the project but not when exported out. Looks a bit like moire pattern but much more regular dotted box pattern about 5-10 pixel regular box size across whole image in grid - very odd. The noise pattern is not on the source or from camera chip I don't think - although that's what it looks like when sharpness is too hard on camera settings or chip structure bleeds through.
Have been using sharp filter and preset colour balances but as I say look OK in timeline but not after export. Tried using with and without high quality render - no difference.
I am using DV25 as the export format and I am working on a high end Mac Pro with the latest version of CC.
Very frustrating issue as ruins quality of output - any thoughts gratefully received!

Hi Jim,
I have viewed in Quicktime 10 and in Final Cut 7 (where I sometimes go back to to use the Neat Video plug-in for noise reduction)

Disable grid lines ?

G'day all,
I have a spreadsheet that has no grid lines, just a coloured background with numbers in each cell.
When I click on any cell all the grid lines appear and it's really distracting to see what's going on in the spreadsheet.
How can I disable the grid lines when I'm adjusting cell data ?
Cheers.
Tony

Tony,
Changing the cell borders to the same color as the background will make them appear to go away.
Click on the table name in the sheets pane to select the entire table. Then in the Table Inspector, Cell Borders section, click the icon that looks like a plus-sign. Then click the rectangle just below the plus-sign icon and select a color that's the same as your background, probably white if you're using a default table format. That "Plus sign" is really indicating that you want to operate on all the interior borders, as opposed to the outside border, or just the horizontal borders, or just the vertical borders, or just the left edge of the selection, etc. If you study all the choices, you'll see the pattern. The rectangle below the interior border icon is the color selection activation button, as you may have guessed.
So, after changing all the interior borders to the same color as the background, you should have what you want.

Problem removing grid lines from prints in PhotoShop Elements 13

I cannot remove faint grid lines from my prints in Photoshop Elements 13, even after I've turned off the grid overlay. How can I get these lines out? I'm desperate as I am writing a book and am stymied at this point. Help!

The grid does not print. There has to be another source for the visible grid lines on your prints. Suggest that you do the following:
Make sure that your ink cartridges have plenty of ink
Do a deep cleaning of your print head
Align the cartridges as per instructions in the printer's manual
Do a test print

Click to choose a stroke color.
Click to choose a stroke style.
Click to choose a line thickness.
Stroke pop-up menu: Lets you choose a stroke style. Choose None to hide borders.
Line thickness: Controls the thickness of the stroke.
Color well: Lets you choose a stroke color.
When you click the color well in the format bar, a color matrix appears. Select a color by clicking it in the matrix, or click Show Colors to open the Colors window for additional color options.

In pages, when I make a table, the lines print very faintly. Any ideas?

Hello: when I make a table in Pages, the table will not print well; the grid lines are very faint.
I get the same result in Numbers.
Any ideas?

Hello.
You can choose the size of your border in Pages or Numbers.
To do that, you have to select your table.
After that, click on inspector.
You must have the cell borders option, set here the border width.
That's all !

Grid lines in Numbers

Just started using Numbers. The grid lines on my spreadsheets I've created are barely visible. How do I darken the gridlines? I've tried using Inspector in the tool bar, but have had no luck.

in the user guide located on the apple support main website, chapter four has a section called "Formatting table cell borders" which explains all the basics.

Grid lines in numbers, how do you switch them on and off?

I am having trouble getting the grid lines to show in numbers, the format has grid lines highlighted in blue but switching this off or on has no effect on grid lines in the sheet

Hi algebra,
I got an email notification of your reply, but this page has not yet updated. This forum software sometimes is out of sync with the emails.
Numbers 3.2
Click on the 'bullseye' top left of the table to select the whole table
In the format panel on the right of the Numbers window, click on Cell
Border > Line style, Width (I prefer 1pt), Colour (I prefer Black) , border pattern (I prefer to set them all the same, see below)
Regards,
Ian.

Grid Lines show up in certain print types.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 all in one.Imac OS 10.6.8When ever I print in black and white mode for any size or type document or when I print in color to a single 4x6 photo page the vertical grid lines show up on the print. I don't have this problem when I print the same 4x6 color photo on a full size 8x10 page. I don't have this problem whenever I print any document in color. I have deep cleaned the print heads and realigned the print heads several times; but I cannot lose the grid lines when I print in black and white and try to print color to the smaller format paper? I love this printer otherwise. Setup was easy, operation is user friendly, and it prints beautifully other than these two little annoying instances. Can anyone offer a solution?

Yes, I am experiencing this as well. Thin black vertical lines about 2.8cm apart. Initially I thought they were just on things sent to the printer from Photoshop, but now I see them on colour items I print directly from the copier and on an email attachment from my iPad. At times the lines are barely visible ant that is what happened when I was talking wiht hp support. It looked as though the problem had been solved after reloading the software onto my iMac. But afterI hung up with them it happened again and when I went back to look at the other prints the lines were there too but not very visible. I have cleaned and aligned the heads and replaced an empty yellow cartridge. I printed a blank white sheet that had no lines. I cannot figure it out. Any suggestions anyone?
