Default I can't change border for cell

I'd like to change the border around a selected row to a heavier one. I
follow all the instructions in "Help" but it does not change the border.

Hello,

if you are trying to change border via icon on formatting toolbar, you shoud
choose "Draw borders" and select the right line style.
But you can also try to draw border by selecting Format - Cells - Border
where you can also select different border styles. But selecting the style is
not enough. You must first select border style (and color if you don't want
automatic/black) and then select where you want to have selected border. You
select it (click) in section Border on Border tab.

Regards,
Nika Lampe

You can also try View Toolbars and select the drawing toolbar.
On the drawing toolbar there is a border pt. thickness you can choose.
