Hi Don,

Yes, I saw your post. I was giving Dawn a non-macro way to do borders.

I've not been able use a macro to get a combination of line style and line
thickness that isn't already one of the combinations in the Format - Cells -
Borders dialog box. Is that what you're saying? I admit to not trying very
thoroughly, though. :)

For example, the second one down on the right one gives:

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlSlantDashDot
.Weight = xlMedium

But if I try to get the xlSlantDashDot style in xlThick (which isn't an
available combination in the dialog box):

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlSlantDashDot
.Weight = xlThick

.... it reverts to a solid line, as if it's xlContinuous.

Earl, Did you see my post?

Sub bottomborder()
ActiveCell.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThick 'xlmedium or xlthin
End Sub

Dawn,

I guess I was overoptimistic in my description. There are some line
styles
presented in more than one thickness (the solid line), and variants of
the
dashed line in varying thicknesses, but no independent thickness
selection,
per se.

When I open up Format - Cells - Borders, there is no where in there to
choose
the line thickness. There is a styles, which gives me one thickness of
each
type of line style - where can I choose the thickness?

Dawn,

If you're using the toolbar buttons for borders, you have only the
choices
there, including the thicknesses. For custom bordering, try Format -
Cells - Borders. The general approach is to work that dialog box from
right
to left: Select the line styles, thicknesses, etc,. you want in the
right
side, then click in the left side to apply the current line style to
the
cells.

In Word you can change the thickness of the line used in boarders -
but
I
can
not change the thickness in Excel. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.
