I don't think this is possible in a standard LOV. LOVs don't have properties to set distance between records/columns or to display grid lines. But then again: a list of values is not an excel file. You could create a custom LOV window. I've seen it work on several locations.

I should have been more clear. I mean that you create your own lookup window. This can be an extra window+canvas+block in the existing form or a separate form. At our shop, people tend to use the first solution. They add an extra window that pops up instead of the LOV and that allows the user to search in a more flexible way than a standard LOV would allow.
