Showing Grid Lines

Grid lines are vertical or horizontal lines that help you compare charted data with axis values.

  To hide or show grid lines:

  1. Display the General tab of the Chart Preferences dialog.

  2. Optional: Select a setting from the Gridlines drop-down list to show only horizontal grid lines (Horizontal), only vertical grid lines (Vertical), both horizontal and vertical grid lines (Both), or select None to hide both horizontal and vertical grid lines.

  3. Change another setting or click OK.

    Note:

    You can press Ctrl+l to toggle the horizontal grid lines on and off.
