Default how to create blank empty square cell graph template

"in Microsoft excel 2007 by setting each column individually to .1" width
(75 times)"
Why not select 75 columns (the column headers A thru BW) and set the width
all at once
How do you get 0.1" when Excel uses pixels?

But why use Excel. I got what you wanted with in 3 minutes using a graph
paper printing software I have had for years. Google "graph paper printer"
and you will get 0.1M hits -- many to free software

best wishes

I need a simple way to create an empty cell graph with 75 columns with each
column .1 inch wide and 100 rows with each row .1 inch high. This implies
margins of .5 inches all around on an 8.5" x 11" paper. I have found a
possible way to do this in Microsoft excel 2007 by setting each column
individually to .1" width (75 times) and then each row to .1" height (100
times) but I always seem to end up with a few rows visibly too wide or too
high, and God knows how many more might be imperceptibly off by .01 inch
in
either height or width or both. In Microsoft works, I can create a simple
template, but I have not found a way to make any cell smaller than one
quarter of an inch square. Whenever I search, I never find any
downloadable
simple instruction that does not involve squaring data when I mention
geometrically square cells, or "non-empty" whenever i search for empty
cells. Whenever I search to create a template I find out how to open and
save
a workbook that I do not have because i have not successfully created the
one
i need to open and save. Forgive me for being such a dummy. I am something
more of a reactor than a creator. Please note that a square is a
rectangle
with all four sides the same length. A rectangle is a four sided figure
with
every corner at right angles. All right angles are equal. I am not asking
to
build a baseball field.
