I need to add a border on the bottom row of each page. I use the header row
and that works fine but I need to have a border on the bottom of each row on a page. Page borders do not work either |

Select the whole table, Format, Borders and Shading, Borders tab, click the
border icon that shows a horizontal line in the middle of the icon. This will add a line to the border between cells. If you want the last row of the table to have a border on the bottom, click the icon below this - a horizontal line at the bottom of the icon. This will add a border to the bottom of the last row only, and not between the cells. If your table spans across pages, then the middle border line will display at the bottom of the page as the table continues over. If you have merged cells (vertically) and the border is sometimes missing, then that is usually due to you having a vertically merged cell alongside some non-merged rows which are dropping over the page break. You may need to have the merged cell start on the new page. If this is the case, come back as this will need further instructions. Does this answer your question? Come back with further details of what you have, what you want and also what version of Word you are using. -- Hope this helps DeanH "daren white" wrote: I need to add a border on the bottom row of each page.

If a border is desired at the bottom of every row, then the Horizontal
Inside Border is the one to use, but if what is wanted is just a border at the bottom of the table and at the bottom of every page of the table if it runs to more than one page (which is what the OP seems to be asking for), then I find that adding just a Bottom Border (to the whole table) will achieve this effect. In fact, many of the questions we see here pertain to getting rid of the bottom border on pages where the table does not end, and the solution to that is to add a Bottom Border to just the last cell and not the whole table. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne.
My reading of the posting is that a bottom border is required at the bottom of the row "each page", that to me suggests that the table spans pages. shrug we may never know ;-) -- Hope this helps DeanH "Suzanne S.

But that's what I meant. The OP seems to want a border at the bottom of each
page, not at the bottom of each row. I would hope that there would be more than one row on a page. And if a single row spans more than one page, then the OP is just asking for grief. -- Suzanne S.

I am using word 2003. The table is on 2 pages and is part of a template with
formfields in and depending on answers given removes certain rows. It is ok if enough rows are deleted to put the table onto one page but if it goes onto 2 the bottom row of the 1st page does not have a border. When I click on the horizontal line and apply to table it puts a border on every row. Depending on how many rows are deleted I cannot tell where the bottom row will be. I need to run a macro which looks for the bottom row of each page and insert the border that way "DeanH" wrote: Hi Suzanne.

Not at all. Select the entire table and apply Bottom Border (not Horizontal
Inside Line). This will give you a bottom border on every page, not just the bottom of the table. -- Suzanne S.

I'm not sure why adding vertical borders would have any effect on horizontal
ones. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "daren white" wrote in message ... sorry forgot to mention I also have borders on some of the columns - not all of them. this seems to alter the horizontal border when I change it |

try it create a table with 5 columns and 30 rows - insert border around and
apply to table, select a column and put a vertical border in. It looks ok until you press return in a row until the document goes onto 2 pages and the part of the border disappears "Suzanne S.
