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

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

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

Try zooming in on the Print Preview. Put in a fat border for comparison.
I think you'll notice that the thinner borders now actually look
thinner.
