Created attachment 125066 [details] Sample Calc spreadsheet Visibility of gridlines is not considered when exporting to MS Office file formats. Screenshot 1 shows attached file "Test.ods" in Calc without gridlines, screenshot 2 shows same file saved as MS Office file in Excel (see attached file "Test.xls"). Gridlines are visible now. Exporting visibility of gridlines correctly is already implemented in OpenOffice.

This file is using the obsolete setting from Tools > Options... > LibreOffice Calc > View. Just switch it back to "Show", and use instead the View > Grid Lines for Sheet menu, which is currently the preferred way of doing it.
Maxim, thanks for responding fast. It works with View / Grid Lines for Sheet. It is a reasonable workaround, but there seems to be an issue too: (1) As no gridlines are displayed status of View / Grid Lines for Sheet does not seem to be appropriate (2) What you see prior to exporting is not what you get after exporting

Then the effect of View > Grid Lines for Sheet is visible. These two ways don't play nice together, that's a known issue... (and the plan was eventually to remove the one from Tools>Options..., it's just that no one had the time for it yet).

Maxim, Thorsten: what should we resolve the status of this report to?
I suggest resolving it to "NEW", because current solution is a workaround only.
Setting to NEW. Maxim can dupe this, if there exists an older report.

Issue still exists with current master, tested on macOS 10.14.5
