That's interesting.
It seems that LibreOffice and other relevant applications and tools need
to distinguish between guide lines (used to help the user position and
align objects, but not show up in print) and lines that are meant to
show up in print (graph axes, tick marks, and background grid lines).
Until yesterday, when I saw Tibor's posts in the "Ask LibreOffice"
thread, I did not know about "zero width" objects. I do find "zero
width" somewhat confusing.

Richard: Did Tibor's suggestions in the "Ask LibreOffice" thread solve
your problem?
Bill.
