If you want to apply a background to a group of cells, select the group. Place the cursor anywhere inside the cell, row or table you want to work with.To set the background for a cell, row, or table: The tables in this guide adopt this technique. The row background option is quite handy when you want to create alternate color rows or assign a different background to the heading of the table. The background selected for a cell will be in front of the row background which in turn will hide the table background. The background can be applied to the whole table, to a single cell, or to a row. You can choose between two types of background when formatting the table: solid color or graphic. On the Borders tab, select the Set No Borders icon under Line arrangement: Default (the box on the left).Ī table background can greatly improve the readability of the data, visually highlight important parts of the table (such as the heading or a specific cell), or just make the table more appealing. To reset everything if you are having problems with borders, right-click in the table and select Table or select Table > Table Properties from the menu bar. Clicking at the intersection of the lines you can modify multiple borders simultaneously (in the figure below, the right edge and horizontal cells separators are modified with a single operation.) When multiple cells are selected the user defined area allow you to select the edges of the selection as well as the cell dividers. OOo provides 5 default arrangements but you can just as easily click on the line you want to customize in the User-defined area to get exactly what you want. You can specify individually the style of the border for the outside edges of the selected cells as well as for the the cell divisions. If a group of cells is selected, the border will be applied only to those cells. Line arrangement specifies where the borders go.In addition, a shadow can be set for the whole table.īorders have three components: where they go, what they look like, and how much space is left around them. Here you can set borders for a whole table or groups of cells within a table. On the Table Format dialog box, select the Borders tab (Figure 6).
