Default multiple pages

Hi Suzanne.
My reading of the posting is that a bottom border is required at the bottom
of the row "each page", that to me suggests that the table spans pages.
shrug we may never know ;-)

If a border is desired at the bottom of every row, then the Horizontal
Inside Border is the one to use, but if what is wanted is just a border at
the bottom of the table and at the bottom of every page of the table if it
runs to more than one page (which is what the OP seems to be asking for),
then I find that adding just a Bottom Border (to the whole table) will
achieve this effect.

In fact, many of the questions we see here pertain to getting rid of the
bottom border on pages where the table does not end, and the solution to
that is to add a Bottom Border to just the last cell and not the whole
table.

Select the whole table, Format, Borders and Shading, Borders tab, click
the
border icon that shows a horizontal line in the middle of the icon. This
will
add a line to the border between cells. If you want the last row of the
table
to have a border on the bottom, click the icon below this - a horizontal
line
at the bottom of the icon. This will add a border to the bottom of the
last
row only, and not between the cells.
If your table spans across pages, then the middle border line will display
at the bottom of the page as the table continues over.
If you have merged cells (vertically) and the border is sometimes missing,
then that is usually due to you having a vertically merged cell alongside
some non-merged rows which are dropping over the page break. You may need
to
have the merged cell start on the new page. If this is the case, come back
as
this will need further instructions.
Does this answer your question? Come back with further details of what you
have, what you want and also what version of Word you are using.

row
and that works fine but I need to have a border on the bottom of each row
on
a page. Page borders do not work either
