I am new to QGIS and have a problem that some might be able to help me with.

Background: Windows 10 and all OS is up to date, QGIS standalone version 2.18.13 (64 bit)

Learning tutorial http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/making_a_map.html

When following this tutorial I can get up to step 21 but I can’t get the frame style to show up on the map?

My original post did not mention anything in regards to adding a grid and zebra border I can get that. I don't know how to upload a screen caption but if you would have looked at the link I provided at step 21 you will see a pink rectangular box around the area of Tokyo which is a frame style. This is what and can get.

  • Step 21 is about grids, do you mean step 20 with the overview map which is shown as a transparent red rectangle?
