Custom designed table borders????
Aside from choosing different line styles/colors for various sides, there's
no customization provided for. But see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BorderArt.htm -- Suzanne S.

You would have to create custom table borders in the same exceedingly
painful way you would page borders, I'm afraid. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "TimothyL" wrote in message ...

Custom designed table borders????
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!! "Suzanne S.

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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
