I definitely like this idea better. I prefer not to introduce drawing
objects unless it is absolutely necessary.

Another idea is to insert a blank row where you want the
extra-thick border to be, format the row to be exactly whatever
number of points in height, and shade the row with a color from
the Borders and Shading dialog box. This might work better than
the rectangle idea because the row will move up or down as you
edit the table, while the rectangle might not move correctly if
it is anchored to the wrong paragraph.

Thanks Garfield! That's a better work-around then the graphic image and

there
is NO way to go higher then 6 pts with a line. Too bad. IMHO there
should
be.
