How do I keep only the outside border of a table and remove inside borders?

Why did I change Pen Color but the border still looks the same?
- Make sure the target table or cells are selected.

- Check whether the current border color is too close to the background color.
- If the change is still hard to see, increase the border weight as well.
How do I fix table borders that look incomplete when printed?
