Problem

As you modify the lines of a cell, you may encounter one of the following problems:

The bottom and right cell lines do not disappear as you would expect.
A cell line appears correctly in the Table Edit screen, but prints as a double or bolded line.
The bottom line of a top cell becomes dotted while the cell directly beneath retains its top single line.

Answer:

You need to edit the top and left lines of other cells to make changes to the bottom and right lines of cells.

You must first have the table you wish to edit on your screen.

1. Place your cursor within the table, then press Columns/Table (Alt+F7).

You are now in the Table Edit mode.

2. Position the cursor below and to the right of the first cell you want to modify.

3. Modify the cell.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you want to modify any other cells.

You might want to use the View Document feature to make sure that all of your lines are correct before you print the table.

1. Press Print (Shift+F7).

2. Select View Document (6).

Details:

As a default, the top and left border for each cell are set as a single or double line, while the bottom and right borders are set for no line. This is true for all cells except the cells in the right-most column or the bottom row of the table where the right or bottom borders must be set to create the table borders.

By default, each cell in a table controls only its top and left lines. You can change the right or bottom lines of each cell, but the top line of the cell below and the left line of the cell to the right could overlap those lines because they take up the same space. To avoid line duplication, it is best to only modify the top and left lines of each cell.
