About This Feature

Overview

Table Borders is a table styling feature in WPS Office Slides on Windows. It helps you adjust how table borders and inner lines appear in a presentation. You can apply no border, all borders, outside borders, inside borders, directional borders, and diagonal borders. You can also adjust border color, line style, and line weight.

Core tasks include:

Set border types for common layouts such as all borders, outside borders, and inside borders.
Set border color from theme colors, standard colors, or recently used colors.
Set line style for different visual effects.
Set line weight to make borders lighter or more prominent.
Use the right-click menu for faster border changes.

This feature works well for presentation tables, comparison tables, course materials, project reports, and cover-page information tables. It helps make table structure clearer and key areas easier to notice. If you are looking for how to change table border color in PowerPoint-style slides, this workflow in WPS follows a similar table design approach.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports border types, Pen Color, Pen Style, and Pen Weight in the table style area, with an additional right-click path for quick changes.	Microsoft support pages describe adding or removing table borders and customizing line style, width, and color in table design tools.	Google Docs Help states that users can change border color, border width or weight, and border dash for selected table cells.	Notion table view supports showing or hiding vertical lines and adjusting how table content is displayed, but it is centered on database-style tables rather than presentation table border styling.	Adobe Acrobat help focuses on PDF viewing, editing, and conversion workflows, and its public help content does not present a comparable presentation-table border styling workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can adjust border type, color, style, and weight in one table styling workflow. Distinct: The right-click menu also supports quick border application for common edits.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports table border formatting, but the referenced help content is broader Office guidance rather than a focused WPS Slides-style workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes basic table styling in documents, with less emphasis on presentation-focused border design controls.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for database organization and view management than detailed border styling in presentation tables.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is more focused on PDF workflows than direct presentation table border editing.

Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical choice when you want to format table borders directly inside a presentation and adjust multiple border settings in one place. Other products fit different priorities, such as document table editing, database-style organization, or PDF workflows.
