Creating "lined" pages program ?

[John Fitzsimons]

The other day I wanted a quick/easy way to create a page of lines.
I quickly found out that doing it in Word was very tedious (IMO). I
couldn't simply find a place to put "Give me an A4 page with 100
equally spaced lines and no page margins".

I took a look at some of the graph paper programs mentioned in this
newsgroup previously but the ones I looked at seemed even more
complicated that Word was !

Does anyone here have a program that might suite please? The
emphasis being quick/easy ? Preferably with little/no need for a
complicated learning curve ? Also, preferably one that someone here
has actually used. I don't want a list of 115 suggestions any of which
"might" work. TIA.

Regards, John.

Let's see. You want:

1. Quick and easy
2. Little or no learning curve
3. Something already proven to work
4. And.... you don't want any suggestions

Ok

How about a blank spreadsheet with the cells formatted with a bottom
border?? Make the rows the spacing you want and print.

You could use the Word labels trick that I mentioned in your previous thread
to do this as well. I'll leave it to you to figure out the particulars, but
it should be easy. . .

This has nothing to download, pick the template you want, a PDF
comes up, then just click print. You can pick the colors you
want.

LOL

Plus, he already has a solution that works, using Word. I just tried
it in word, took me less than a minute: new document, set the
margins, create a single column table, tweak the row height and
borders. But this is "very tediious".

Ok.

Great site...dozens of "lined" paper types. Pretty useful stuff. Oh,
and a fun double-entendre'd url as well as a motto that shouts "truth in
advertising!"

worth a look,
