Default Formatting issue

I am trying to format cells with the border tab. I used it earlier in the
document just fine, but now when I go to Format-Cells-Border tab, I do not
get any choices of size of lines to use. That box on the right is empty.
I did a reboot of my computer thinking that would fix the glitch but it did
not. Has anyone else had this problem and can you tell me how to fix it?
Thanks,
Juboe

Just a guess but if you have selected the colour white as your line colour
then the lines will not appear. They are there but there is no contrast to
white on white. Try changing the colour.

Yes, that was it. Thanks for the replies. I feel like an idiot.

Random shot:
Under the line box, where you select color, make sure you have a color other
than white selected. Otherwise, the line box will show white lines on a white
background, and you can't see them.
