Try it on Cell Properties.
| Thanks all for the help.
|
| When I follow these instructions:
|
| "Select the entire table. Right click on it. Select Table Properties. Click
| on the Style
| button. When Modify Style dialog shows, click on its Format button and
| then
| select border. That gets you into how to specify what the outline on the
| outside of the table looks like. In your case, I bet you only want the top
| line of the table to show. By the time you get to this dialog, it will
| most
| likely be self evident how to add and remove lines from the various sides
| of
| your table."
|
| I followed your instructions and told it to have a line at the top and line
| at the bottom of the table. But when I preview it, there is a box around the
| table. It has sides. I must be doing it wrong. How do I remove the sides?
|
| Note: If I repeat the above, these sides are not marked in the format, but
| they do show in preview.
