Hi,

I'd like to change the spacing on the lined paper (or squared etc) that I use for backgrounds - but just can't work it out. Is this possible?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
The easiest way to do it is to use a grid instead of a background. Then you can double-click on the page and then use the plus or minus signs to increase the line spacings.

If you have a background that you particularly want to use, you can do this instead:
1. Use the camera tool to take an area picture of your screen.
2. Use the resize handles at the top of the image to stretch it so that the spacing is appropriate.
3. Right click on your page and go to Edit> Layer> Lock to background. Now you can write on top of it easily.

Cheers,
Rosie

Thanks Rosie,

That works :-)

Hoowever, I don't have a simple lined paper grid - is there one available? (my music/handwriting grids all resize beautifully).

Hi Andrew

In the Shared Grids there should be a series of horizontal lined grids. The should also be a Grid Maker so you can make your own.
