How do I place a grid in the background to use as a guide?

If the grid is not currently visible, you can do any of the following:

• right click at the bottom of the page,, then on Grid and Helplines ▸ Display Grid;
• select the View ▸ Grid and Helplines ▸ Display Grid menu;
• select the Options toolbar(View ▸ Toolbars ▸ Options), then click on the second button Display Grid.

This last toolbar provides access to almost all the grid options. The grid spacing is set by the Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Draw ▸ Grid ▸ Resolution menu.
