Adding Borders to Cells


Adding borders to cells is another way to draw attention to selected cells. And, although you can apply a colored border, using a black border can be particularly effective if color isn't an option for you.

In Figure 9.10, I placed a black border around the totals for each training class.

Figure 9.10. You can use borders to call attention to selected cells.


To add borders to cells, follow these steps:

1.

Select the cell or cells around which you want to place borders.

2.

Open the Format menu and click Selection Properties. Quattro Pro displays the Active Cells dialog box.

3.

Click the Border tab.

4.

In the Segment Selection section, click the button that matches the type of border you want placed around the selected cells. In Figure 9.11, I clicked the Outline button.

5.

In the Border Properties section, click the Type button to select the thickness of the border and click the Color button to select a color for the border.

6.

Click OK. Quattro Pro applies the border you selected to the cells you selected.
