Questions and answers.
Helpful details before you print.
How many squares are in one inch?+
There are four ¼ inch squares along one inch.
Is ¼ inch the same as 5 mm?+
No. A quarter inch is 6.35 mm, so a 5 mm grid has smaller squares.
Why is the border wider than the selected margin?+
The grid is centered using whole squares, so the actual margins can be larger than the minimum you select.
