FAQ
Will changing borders in collaborative mode affect other people?
- After changing borders in a collaborative file, first check the current display in the sheet.
- If other collaborators are online, the formatting change will usually sync in the shared document view.
- If you need a consistent layout, agree on border rules for headers, content areas, and highlighted ranges before making broad changes.
How can I change only part of the borders without affecting the whole range?
- Select the target cell range and open Format Cells.
- In the Border settings, choose the line style first.
- Then click the specific side you want to keep or modify in the border diagram so only that position changes.
Why do printed lines look different from the gridlines on screen?
- First distinguish gridlines from borders, because gridlines are mainly for on-screen viewing.
- Before printing, add formal borders to the area that should appear in output.
- Preview the print result and confirm the table lines are clear before printing.
