Hi Joe,

Select the cells and go to FormatCellsBorder Tab.
You can change the color in the bottom right corner.
You need to delete the borders and then re-instate them
for the change to take effect.

I want to color my borders gray but I'm finding it tedious to actually
color them in using the pencil tool. Is there any way to make it the
default so I can just click the box to draw all borders? Every time I
pick the color gray when I click the box in the tool bar it comes out
black

I tried that but every time I do it no matter what color I pick it
comes out black
