User reviews

This app does half its job. It displays the table gridlines well. But unfortunately the gridlines show up when I print the doc.

Great extension but doesn't seem to work for me on shared documents?

Frederick Cousins, 2023-02-05

Shows all the gridlines for like a second when I first open the doc, then some tables disappear. Better than not seeing them at all, I guess.
