Borders around tables are set up from the Tables dialog as follows:
| 1 | Click Format, Tables, Create (or Format, Tables, Table Editor) to open the Tables dialog. |
| 2 | Click to check the Use Border box in the middle of the dialog. |
| 3 | Click the Borders button. The Borders for Tables dialog will appear. |
| 4 | If you assign a name to your border, the name will be associated with the settings you select and added to the drop list. You will then be able to select the same border for future use within your document. To assign a name, click the New button and type in a name of 7 letters or less. |
| 5 | Use the Shading slider control at the top right of the dialog if you would like to add background shading to the table. Select a setting between 0% (white) and 100% (black). |
| 6 | Use the radio buttons to select one of the 7 types of borders shown. |
| 7 | Use the check boxes to indicate whether the Weight and Shading are or are not identical for each side of the border. The Weight is the thickness of the line. The Shading indicates how dark the line is (100% is black). Use the slider controls to set the weight and shading. |
| 8 | Use the drop down lists under Type When Combined With Another Border to indicate how you would like to have the border appear when borders of two cells are combined. |
| 9 | If you selected Custom border in step 7, then you can use the Left, Right, Top and Bottom check boxes to indicate whether or not you want to include each of these sides in your border. |
| 10 | Click OK to accept the settings you have selected, or Cancel to accept previous settings. |
| 11 | Click OK to close the Tables dialog, accepting the settings you have selected. |
You can return to the Table dialog and change the borders at any time.
