I work at a bilingual French / American school and was hoping someone has a solution for my issue. We use French paper (seen here - http://www.charivarialecole.fr/des-lignes-seyes-a-inserer-dans-les-documents-a642407) in some classes. It would be great to be able to have this as a background / template. I tried adding it as a print or picture but it doesn't fit quite right nor scale like the default ruled / grid paper?

Hi Brian,
I had a closer look at the Lignes Seyes grid. I then set off to play around a little bit in Excel, and created the template that you see here. I've included a download link below, both for the OneNote template and for the .XLSX spreadsheet. I used Excel
because it allows to create very wide and long grids, tackling the scaling issues you've been running into.
I couldn't figure out a way to directly capture the entire Excel grid as an image to a PNG or to the clipboard. That's why I used the Save As > HTML option in Excel to export the grid as a web page. This causes the published HTML file to automatically open
in a web browser. I then used my screen-capturing tool to send the grid from my browser to OneNote. You may be able to optimize this workflow with different tools. I noticed there was some quality loss getting from Excel via HTML to OneNote. Although the template
I made isn't designer-grade, I still hope it inspires you to find satisfactory solution.
You can download the OneNote template at

Let me know if helps you to reach your goal.
