Change format of individual cell boundaries in a table?
Very new user here.
I am constructing a simple table, consisting of a number of cells and I’m wondering if it is possible to change the format (how thick the line is, colour, etc) of individual cell boundaries. Currently I am able to change the format of all four boundaries (left, right, top, bottom) of each cell but the change affects all of them together.
Just to explain further, using a simple example: Say I have a simple four cell table and I want the horizontal line running along the middle of the table to be a different format (say, thickness) to the rest of the table boundary lines.
Is this possible? Thanks.
Actually I posted this question in the ‘Writer’ section, because this is a Writer document. Having said that, I think you have a great idea to instead create this ‘document’ as a spreadsheet. So much more flexible (unless someone else comes up with a way to do this in Writer).
Thanks also for taking the time to provide an example.
Excellent help.
It is VERY similar to do this in Writer, but a bit more work. Basically, select the cell and go to Tables -> Table Properties, then edit the cell’s borders as I mentioned above.
Again, here is an example:

Many thanks for this – I see exactly how this can be done now, as per your example.
An excellent response overall. This bodes well for any help I might need in future.
Cheers.
From that cell format pop-up window, select Borders (tab) and away you go. I have attached an example for you.
