Let me know if you like them, or want anything changed. I'm working on versions you can print directly from the browser, and other versions where you can specify the line spacing. I tried one with faint vertical lines, but didn't like it enough to put up.

Let me know if you like them, or want anything changed. I'm working on versions you can print directly from the browser, and other versions where you can specify the line spacing.

Email me or use the feedback form if you like them, or want something slightly different. In most cases, it's easy for me to change but difficult to describe how.

Size Test

This paper has several different sets of lines at different spacings. Takes three pages to print. MSWord document.

Paper One

This paper has two solid lines with a dotted line between them. Most of us put the lower case letters between a dotted and solid line. Some prefer to put the lower case letters between two solid lines, with the tall letters stretching up to the dotted line. MSWord document.

Paper Two

The second paper has light vertical lines as well. Only way to show it here is large spacing, but it's actually the same size as the other.

Paper Three

As for the first, but with faint colours between each set of lines.

Instructions

1. Print Preview to determine which pages you want. There are more lines than will fit on a page.
2. Follow MSWord's instructions to print several copies of the page(s) you want.

The spacing between the lines is somewhat arbitrary. What Word claims to be 3mm isn't.

To Change Grid Spacing for the Vertical Lines

1. To print the first one, select page 1 only, as many copies as you like. If you don't, every other page will be only half a page. (The extra lines are included in case you set the lines narrower.)

Printing Paper

Special paper for kids who have problems staying between the lines when handwriting. This paper has two solid lines and then a dotted line. Which ones you put the letters between depends on you.

Let me know if you like it, or want it changed. I'm also working on one with colours between the spaces, so the grass letters are in the green section, dirt go into brown, and sky in the blue. Email me or use the feedback form if you want to know when it's done.

Instructions

Any reasonably current version of MSOffice and/or MSWord will open it fine. So should most of their competitors.

The machine claims the spacing between the lines is 3mm, but it's not terribly exact.

To Print:

Works best on a colour printer.

To print the first one, select page 1 only, as many copies as you like. If you don't, every other page will be only half a page. (The extra lines are included in case you set the lines narrower.)

To print the second one, select page 3 only.

To Change Line Spacing:

Edit/Select All

Format/Paragraph
Line Spacing: Single
At: whatever you like
Be sure to include the units (pt is the default)

To Change Grid Spacing

Edit/Select All

Format/Tab
Default Tab/Default Tab Stops Again, be sure to include the units. You will then have to add or remove the "pipe" characters.
