Spreadsheets: How to border a selection in LibreOffice Calc
The tutor explains how to set a border around a range of cells in LibreOffice Calc.
Here’s what to do:
- Select the area around which you want a border.
- Find the icon that’s a square divided in four; it’s perhaps four in from the right. If you mouse over it, you’ll see Borders, add lines
- Click that icon, then select the style of border you want.
You’ll see a thin, black border around your selection. To customize that border, do the following:
- Make sure the range is still selected (or select it again).
- At the top of the screen, click Format, then Cells…
- Select the Borders tab. Therein, you’ll see where you can select the style, width, and color of the border.
- I find a border really doesn’t become obvious until it’s 1.25pt or more.
- Click OK to apply your choices.
