About This Feature

Overview

Borders in WPS on Android is a built-in spreadsheet formatting feature for adding, adjusting, or clearing visible borders around selected cells. It lets you open the Tools panel, switch to the Home tab, choose a border type, and then set a border line color in the same editing area.

Core tasks include:

Apply common border types for selected cells, such as outside borders, inside borders, all borders, and bold border styles.
Change border line color to make key table areas easier to read.
