Specify the appearance of table lines

You can set display options for each of these linear table elements: table border, table separators (title and horizontal/vertical title headers), and grid lines (horizontal and vertical). As you make adjustments, the Preview pane shows how they affect the appearance of a table.

  1. In the New Table Style dialog box or the Modify Table Style dialog box, click the Lines tab.

  2. To change color--On the row representing the linear element you want to change, click the Color cell and then select a color from the Color list.

    The default is Black/White.

  3. To change line type--On the row representing the linear element you want to change, click the Type cell and then select a line type from the list.

    The default is a continuous line.

  4. To change line width--On the row representing the linear element you want to change, click the Width cell and then select a line width from the list.

  5. In the Table Style dialog box, click OK.

  6. In the Style dialog box, click Close.

Tip:

  • The line style changes are applied to any existing tables on the drawing, as well as to new tables you create that use this line style.

  • To make changes to the appearance of a single table without changing the table style, right-click the table and choose Properties.

  • To make changes to the table text, see Specify the appearance of table text.
