First format two adjacent cells, one at a time, via F4; then select both
of
these cells, open the Borders and Shading dialog box, verify that the
settings are correct, and click OK. You should now be able to apply the
formatting to multiple cells with F4.

Thanks, Stefan, using the F4 key certainly works to paste a cell format
to
another cell. Is there a way to paste to multiple cells?

I was able to paste the same border lines to individual cells selected,
however, when I tried to paste this format (left, bottom, right lines)
to
multiple cells the line format appeared on the 1st cell left side, last
cell
right side, and across the bottom of all cells.

Merci,

Select the cell that has the desired formatting. Open the Borders and
Shading dialog box and click OK (to confirm the settings). Then you
should
be able to select other cells and press F4 to repeat the settings of
the
dialog box.

I have many cells in a Word table that I want to have the same
borders/lines
format. Is it possible to copy the formatting of one cell to
multiple
cells?
Like in Excel?
Thanks
