no margins and 32 lines
This thread offers some really practical ways to create printable lined paper using LibreOffice. I like how different approaches are suggested for different needs, from using paragraph borders or tables in Writer to drawing lines in Draw/Impress and even using cell borders in Calc. The template links for 32-line sheets are especially handy if you just want something ready to print without much setup. It’s also great that the solutions explain how to adjust margins and spacing for cleaner results. Overall, a very helpful discussion for anyone looking to generate custom lined paper
There are different options:
- Writer1: paragraphs with borders (on top or on bottom)
- Writer2: table (borders top/bottom)
- Draw (or Impress): line (menu Edit, duplicate)
- Calc: Cellborders (top/bottom)
Decide and specify your question (EDIT your question)
No margins:
Set page margins to 0 and be sure that your printer can realize that…

Hello,
if you just want to print line paper you may use these templates:
32-Lines No Numbers: LinedPaper-32-Lines-NoNumbers.ott
32-Lines Numbered: LinedPaper-32-Lines.ott
Attention: These Templates use a table, thus are mainly designed to be printed.

Format > Spacing (choose your desired line spacing)
Format > Paragraph > (dialog opens)
click on “Borders” tab
In the User Defined box, add a bottom border.
Uncheck: “Merge with next paragraph” (under Properties)
Press OK button.
Now each time you press the enter key (new paragraph), a line will appear on the page. Press enter for as many lines as you want.
Setup document margins from the ruler in “Normal” view. Document margin settings are dependent on the printer capabilities close to the edge of the paper.

Menu Format → Page style.
On tab ‘Page’ make sure the option ‘Background covers margins’ is checked.
On tab ‘Area’ select ‘Hatch’. Use line type ‘Single’, angle 0, and set Spacing and Line color to your needs.
With the same method you can easily get squared paper as well.
