Like something in the pic below?  Aside from drawing it in the program of your choice, the grid in the pic was created in Adobe illustrator with the grid tool.

I did the same thing in Microsoft word and when I paste it,parts are missing. The lines have to be like 1/4 inch wide. Any other programs that I can use to do this?

Create a rectangle the sizse of your whiteboard. Figure ont how many columns and rows you want. From that you can figure how big to make each square. (Make sure to leave room for the .25" seperation between. SignBlazer has an array function that lets you duplicate elements. Use it to create your other rectangles on top of your large rectangle. Edit + Select All then Arrange + Combine.
