Formatting tables and cells

You can change the look of a table by modifying both table and cell borders. For example, you can change the table border width or color.

You can modify both table and table cell borders.

Thin table and cell borders (left) are made thicker (right).

In addition, you can change the table cell margins and cell border spacing. The cell margins let you increase the space between the cell borders and the text in the cell. By default, table cell borders overlap to form a grid. However, you can increase the cell border spacing to move the borders away from each other. As a result, the cells do not form a grid, but appear as individual boxes (also known as "separated borders").

You can modify an existing table (left) by applying separated borders (right).
