Adding A Border To Your Table

You can add a border to  your table. It can be colored with a single color or you can use two colors. You can also remove the border if you don't want it showing. This can especially come in handy when you want to line up things on the page without having them appear as if they are in a table. Follow the directions below to add either a single color, two color border or removing the border from a table:

 

Adding a singe color border:

  1. Right click anywhere within your table and click on table properties.

  2. Click on the up arrows next to border size to increase or decrease the table border's thickness.

  3. Click on the down arrow next to color to choose the color for the border.

(By choosing this color your table will show this color in both Netscape and Internet Explorer).

 

Duo color border:

  1. Right click anywhere within your table and click on table properties.

  2. Click on the down arrow next to light color and choose a color you want for the top half of the table.

  3. Click on the down arrow next to the dark color and choose a color you want for the bottom half of the table.

  4. Click on the arrow next to color and pick a color for the border of the table. This will ensure that you will have a color for your table when people are viewing it with Netscape. The duo color border will only show if you are using Internet Explorer.

 

No Border:

  1. To get rid of the border from a table so that it won't display right click inside of the table and choose table properties.

  2. Click on the down arrow next to border size box and set the number to zero.

  3. Click on OK. Your table border will be invisible.
