Default Can you change the bar tab thickness

I am using a bar tab, but when it prints the tab line is quite thin. Can I
make it a little thicker?

No, the bar tab is not configurable (it doesn't even change with different
font sizes). It is a holdover from very early versions of Word in which it
was the only way to create ruled tables. Nowadays, it is virtually
undocumented, so very few users discover it, much less figure out a use for
it; obviously you have (I like it, too).

Hi Al,

No, I don't think so. If you need thicker lines, you would probably better use
"real" table cells and cell borders instead.

Klaus
