You can show a ruler (in Writer) when you go to "View > ruler" (or > something similar, With my page in landscape mode, halfway down should be half of 8.5 which is 4.25 inches. The ruler at the top lets me move a visual guide to show the vertical center, but the ruler going down the left side does not, and I don't see a way to mark the horizontal center. I am also not sure, what you mean exactly with your initial > description. What grid do you mean? I just thought there might be a grid that I could turn on, for dividing the paper (not the print area) but there does not seem to be. I have a letter-size page (8.5x11") in landscape mode. I want to make sure that when I fold it from top to bottom I don't have text in the fold area. For that, I need to see where, exactly, is 4.25 inches down from the top of the page. Regardless of what margins I use (margins will change) I want to see where is 4.25" down from the actual paper, not the print range. Thank you for your patience.
