How to create thin cell border
I'm sure this should be easy but...
I'm trying to add a normal weight (thin) border to the right edge of cells in column E. After adding via Border tabpage on Format\Cells, File\Print Preview shows they are being treated as thick/heavy lines. Is there a setting I'm missing? Step-by-step would be appreciated. Thanks! Dale |

I don't see anything wrong. They look like "normal weight (thin)" borders

sure does look normal.
Do you see them any different than the borders surrounding columns B, C and D? They look the same as E when I open your spreadsheet "Jim Rech" wrote in message ... I don't see anything wrong.

Hey Guys, thanks for trying.
The mentioned borders definetly look fat on my screen, but when they are printed they look the same. So it looks like a graphics engine problem, not a settings issue. I'm surprised that the borders look correct for you though; I'd expect the graphics engine to render the image consistenty; it always look the same way on my computer. Maybe you're using a different version of Excel? My version is Excel 2002/XP (10.6501.6714) SP3. Have a good day. Dale "Guillermo" wrote in message ... sure does look normal.

Put in a fat border for comparison. I think you'll notice that the thinner borders now actually look thinner. Bill |
