how to create a grid in a text document

I am attempting to create a form that has a grid to be printed, where data will he hand written into the grid, not entered by a computer.

My wife uses MS word, in which she says 'insert a table', but this does not seem to exist in LO.

Help?

Hi.
In Writer and database form (LO 5.3.5) the menu is Table>insert table or the little table icon in the toolbar.
