Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Cal default print settings (and general default settings)

thanks. I did find the settings to print the grid. it's just a bit odd imo
that it by default was off. I've never known anyone who was using a
spreadsheet and DIDN'T want the grid printed out. That's pretty much WHY
they use spreadsheets FOR the grid.

and thanks for the userprofile information. that will be helpful once I
experiment with it a bit.
