FAQ

Why do borders look faint on screen after I apply them?

  1. First, check whether you are seeing actual borders or only the worksheet gridlines.
  2. Select the range again and open the Borders menu to confirm that a border style has been applied.
  3. If the border color is too light or the line is too thin, switch to a darker color or a thicker line style.
  4. If you need to confirm the print result, open print preview and check the layout there.

Why are borders incomplete when I print the worksheet?

  1. Open print preview and confirm that the target range has actual borders instead of only visible gridlines.
  2. Check whether borders were applied to only part of the range, which can make the layout look broken across pages.
  3. If needed, reapply outside borders or inside borders to the full area.
  4. Preview again before printing.

Can I use different colors or styles on different sides of a cell?

  1. Select the target range and open Format Cells.
  2. In the border settings, choose the line style, color, and weight first.
  3. In the preview area, click each side where you want to apply that style.
  4. Confirm the settings to show different styles on different sides.
