Hey there! I'd be happy to help you with that.
To change the color of the column divider lines in your document, you can follow these steps:
That's it! Your column divider lines should now be the color you selected. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Changing Column Divider Line Color
Select the paragraph you want the divider line to change colors. Try clicking
the home tab and going to "borders and shading" (right of shading bucket). Next go to the bottom of all the choices and you will find "borders and shading....) This will bring you to a screen and make sure you have borders selected, not page borders on the top tab. Here you will have a choice of colors to choose from.

There's actually an error in the program. When you go to borders and shadings and change the color or size. Nothing will get changed. What you have to do is change whatever color or size you want for the border, then go over to where it says preview and click on the button that disable/enable the borders. You will see that once you disable then enable the border line in the preview, the color will change. This looks like some kind of bug that needs to be reported. |

Changing Column Divider Line Color
Word has always worked this way (this procedure allows you to assign
different colors, styles, or weights to the respective borders of a cell or paragraph), but column borders in tables are not the same thing as the "line between columns" in newspaper-style columns. wrote in message ...
