Applying Borders

To distinguish among different data in a worksheet, you can apply borders to cells, shade cells with a background color, or shade cells with a color pattern. As with other types of formatting, cell borders may be applied to all or part of your spreadsheet.

To define a border for a cell(s):

  • Select the cell(s) to configure.
  • Navigate to the Borders And Shading group in the Formatting Palette.
  • Choose the appropriate settings (color, size, and style of cell border).
  • Click OK.
