Default changing colour of cell border

A tiny trick is needed.

1. Select cells
2. Pull down:
Format Cells... Border
3. Pick the color

notice all the Styles change color!!

4. then apply the border


You can not apply borders first and then apply the color.

Hi Soundar

I tried that... but it doesn't appear to work... very strange. Seems to
default to black.

Hi,

You can change the border color as follows:

Select the cells -- Format -- Cells -- Border (Tab) -- Color.

Soundar.

this should be really easy, but I just can't workout how to do it. I have
selected a few cells and made the border thick. I now want to change the
colour of the border (but only this border) - but can't figure it out...?

Any ideas?

cheers
