After years of using numbers I've lost the back lines on all documents, even the ones that are in folders for past years. I've read the instructions and nothing works. I have a 2019 MacAir. Would like any help.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

Take a look at Sytem Preferences->Accessibility->Display. Is the display contrast slider slid to the right at all or is it on "normal"? If you don't see the slider ( ecause it might be washed out), click just to the right of "Display Contrast" to adjust it to the left. You may have to click a bunch of times to hit it. I'm posting a screenshot but it may not look right to you.

The black grid lines. I've restored on some documents but on Google search and internet sites the grid lines around the search box are gone. The gridlines on banking and financial sites etc. Difficult to update a spread sheet without lines to separate the numbered sections. I've messed with this for hours. Uninstalled Duck,DuckGo and back to Chrome or Google. Nothing seems to work.

Sorry, that's what I meant. No reason to access those settings before. Also opened a new numbers document and the gridlines are displayed there, I've just done something to the settings to really mess things up but I really can't understand what I could have done to change the look of Google and other sites being messed up.


Thanks for trying to help. I may have to hire a Mac expert to make a house call. My third Mac, been using Apple products for over 20 years so am really frustrated and feeling s-t-u-p-i-d.
