Default Borders

Nope! Been three, done that. The problem occurs only on the last cell in a
row. When I try to add a bottom border to the last cell in the row, Word
2007 adds a top border to the entire row below.

I really do not like how Word 2007 does borders to tables. This is all
probably going to be moot soon because I am uninstalling this piece of
garbage and reinstalling Word 2003 then awaiting the release of Google Office
because whoever said they wanted these "features" in the new Word was insane.
I suspect that Microsoft could not incorporate what users REALLY wanted in
Word 2003 and came up with this travesty to give us something else to think
about.

Remember what happened to WordStar when WordPro got too cocky.

Place the mouse cursor in the cell to which you want to apply the border,
right click with the mouse and select borders and shading, select Cell from
the "Apply to" pull down in the Preview section of the dialog and and then
click on the edge to which you want to apply the border in the
representation of the cell in that section of the dialog.

I'm crying with this Word 2007. What should have taken me 20-30 minutes
took
me four hous last night. My productivity has crashed.

I create lots of forms for printing, not completing online. Not all rows
have the same number of columns. I never had a problem in any version of
Word until 2007. When I try to insert a bottom border in the last cell of
a
row, Word puts a top border in every cell of the row below. If the row
below
has one column and the row above has four columns, I am perplexed as to
how
to insert bottom borders now.

How to I get a bottom border in the last cell of a row without having Word
2007 insert top borders in the cells of the row that follows?

I like this Word 2007 not.
