Ah I see. Is it correct that the option "Grid lines/Color" is BOTH a preference
AND a document setting on one option? Isn't that really confusing and
unpredictable? Shouldn't there be one option for the document and another for
the user preferences for new documents?
How should a user change the default grid line color without changing the
current document? This is impossible becuase the document setting and the user
option/preference is the exact same setting. It's impossible to change the
prefernces without affecting your document... I think this should be carefully
reconsidered.

I thought the default grid line color was like my Windows Desktop so that a new
spreadsheet shouldn't change the way I view it. Only the borders specifically
set in the spreadsheet should be show that way, but the grid lines are un-
defined in the spreadsheet and so I expected them to be viewed in my preferred
color - like loading a spreadsheet doesn't change my menues or window size.

That - in itself - is big problem. I've reported this in Issue 89377. The
current behavoir makes my grid color settings invalid. I hope you will consider
making an option to override the default grid line color (I mean the color of
cell borders which has no color set - these cells are color netrual and should
have the default color I chose in open office - not the color of another user).
Thanks
