In a Writer document destined for printing, how does one add ruled lines the width of the page for handwritten notes?

There are many ways.  Here are some:

o Enter sufficient underscores to fill the lines. Adjust the line spacing to suit. If there is an unhelpful gap at the end of the lines, select Centered horizontal alignment.

o Press Enter to create sufficient empty paragraphs. Select the area and go to Format | Paragraph... | Borders. Under "Line arrangement", select just the line underneath the paragraph and then a suitable line style. Remove the tick at the bottom from "Merge with next paragraph". Adjust the paragraph spacing if necessary.

o (This is probably the best technique.) Insert a Right tab at the right margin of the page. Press Tab repeatedly (without pressing Enter): each Tab will create a new blank line. Now select the area and choose to underline the lines you have created. Do this by pressing the Underline button in the Formatting toolbar or by going to Format | Character... | Font Effects | Underlining. Again, you can adjust the line spacing to suit.

I trust this helps.
