One way to handle this is to add narrow "spacer" columns between your text
columns and omit the borders on those headings. To make them as narrow as you may want, you may need to reduce the cell margins to 0". -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. "Grant" wrote in message news I have been using paragraph border lines to allow me to have column headers that have individual lines instead of ones that run across the length of the table. i.e., I want something like: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 ___________ _____________ _______________ instead of Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 __________________________________________ The problem with using paragraph borders is that for some reason I can't get the lines to be consistently aligned when there are some columns with single lines and some with mutliple lines. Ironically, on the screen everything looks fine, but when I print, sure enough, the lines underneath some column headers are higher than their neighbors. i.e. (unfortunately this will make it look far more dramatic than it is, but in my document, I do actually have three lines at three different positions) Column 2 Column 3 Column 1 multiline also multiline _______________ ____________ ____________ What I would like is either another solution or to find a way to have the paragraph border be more consistent (the text is formatted exactly the same for all columns, including paragraph formatting). Any hints? Thanks, Grant |
