Default Custom designed table borders????

I agree that you should use the best tool for your requirements. Please let
me point out, though, that Word was never designed or promoted as a "desktop
publishing" program. It's a word processor. Microsoft does offer a DTP
program, called Publisher, and Word is not that program.

bah sometimes I wonder why I even use Word. Well back to QuarkXpress
for me then. I thought I would give the new version of Word a try and
it is still no where even close to QuarkXpress when it comes to
desktop publishing.

Bye bye WORD!!!
Thanks a lot for all your help though Suzanne!!

You would have to create custom table borders in the same exceedingly
painful way you would page borders, I'm afraid.

Yeah I have been to that site and it is not what I am looking for.
I know how
to apply and create custom PAGE borders. But I want to do it on
TABLE borders
and I do not think you can. Which to me is bullcrap as far as I am
concerned!!

You cannot have it all I guess....
Thanks for your responce...

Aside from choosing different line styles/colors for various sides,
there's
no customization provided for. But see

Hi

I am trying to create a custom designed border that I can apply
to any table

I am in the Borders and Shading window on the Borders tab and I
cannot figure out how to add a custom made/designed border.

Any help would be appreciated.... Thanks!!
