<displayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> (Distance between Vertical Gridlines)

This element specifies the number of vertical grid units defined using the <drawingGridVerticalSpacing> element (§2.15.1.46) which shall be allowed between subsequent vertical gridlines in this document, if gridlines are being shown.
Note: : The display of gridlines is an application-level setting not specified in this Office Open XML Standard.
The drawing grid is a grid which may be used by applications to help position floating objects in the document.

If this element is omitted, then vertical gridlines shall not be displayed.

example:

If the vertical drawing gridlines in this document shall only be displayed for every 4th gridline, that requirement would be specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings: 

<w:displayVerticalDrawingGridEvery w:val="4" />

The resulting grid would look like the following:

The <displayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> element has its @val attribute equal to 4, therefore every fourth vertical gridline is displayed in the document when the drawing grid is turned on. ]
