John,

Please start a new thread with a new topic rather than responding to an
existing thread.

I have the following code in Document>settings>LaTeX preamble (Lyx 2.3.2).

\usepackage{background}
\backgroundsetup{
  contents={%
     \includegraphics[width=\pagewidth]{lines.pdf}
  },
  angle=0,
  scale=1.0,
  opacity=1.0
}

I also have lines.pdf in the same subdirectory. See attached. However, lyx
does not see lines.pdf.

Do you want lines numbered or lines such as those on legal pads? I know of
no package that will put more than single lines (\hrulefill). Perhaps
printing on lined paper would work,

Does anyone know how I can get lyx to see and open lines.pdf in the
background. I also tried watermark, but could only see DRAFT in watermark.

The watermark package prints a grey, diagonal DRAFT by default.

Regards,

Rich
