problem with table interior borders
I am using Word 2002. I was experimenting with different table
border styles, and now I have applied a style that I can't undo. After selecting the table, I did the following: 1. Opened the Borders and Shading dialog. 2. Under Style, I select the last item in the list. It looks like 2 gray lines, one darker than the other. 3. Under Setting, I select All. The Preview diagram now shows the selected double line border style. The interior border shows a border around each individual cell. 4. Clicked OK to dismiss the Borders and Shading dialog. Now, I cannot change the border style of interior cells to have just a single line separating the cells. No matter which line Style I choose on the Borders and Shading dialog, the chosen line forms a boundary around each cell individually rather than just a single line between the cells. What is special about the last double line Style in the Borders and Shading dialog that causes the border to be drawn around each cell individually instead of between cells? How do I change back to drawing a single border between cells? I have already figured out workarounds. I am asking these questions with the hope of learning something new about Borders and Shading. Thanks in advance, Mark Urish |

Hi Mark
It appears that what this option does is add some cell spacing so that the cell border is separated from the outside table border. To remove or adjust, use Table Table Properties and click Options button on the Table tab. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Mark Urish" wrote in message ...
