Sylverzone Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 I want to delete the edge borders of a table so that I just have the horizontal lines. I cannot see a way to do this. If I try to select one side or the other it selects the whole table. If I choose one of the table grid selections it does not let me then edit the individual borders. Changing the colours or the strokes does not seem to have any impact either? How do I turn off the edge borders? Thanks in anticipation. pixeldroid 1 Quote
GarryP Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Welcome to the forums. You can try what I show in my attached GIF. Basically you open the Table Panel, select all the cells, and set the Outside Vertical Stroke to None. pixeldroid 1 Quote
Sylverzone Posted December 12, 2019 Author Posted December 12, 2019 Thank you - I will try that. :-) Quote
mswift Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 What if you want the left and right column strokes to be white and the line separating the Rows to be clear except top and bottom of each cell?

GarryP Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 One method is to add some ‘spacer columns’ which have no formatting (see attached image and afpub document). There may be other methods. spacer-columns.afpub Quote
mswift Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks Garry, yes that’s a workaround. I actually managed to do it but tried to it again but wouldn’t work! Frustrating. Quote Murray Swift Retired Graphic Designer – Publisher / Photo / Designer iMac Senoma, iPad
Joachim_L Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Of course it is possible to make such a table without adding blank columns. See image.

GarryP Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 mswift: Just to be clear, are you saying that: 1) you managed to get what you wanted without using ‘spacer columns’ once but can't repeat it, or, 2) you couldn’t get the ‘spacer columns’ to work. It’s just that I’m not entirely sure what you meant by “it” in “I actually managed to do it”. Quote

First one worked but cant repeat it on last row. Quote Murray Swift Retired Graphic Designer – Publisher / Photo / Designer iMac Senoma, iPad
GarryP Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately I can’t replicate what you did in a nice way. I thought I might have had a solution using the ordering of strokes but that didn’t work. I can do it with two tables (see attached image, where the top one Erases parts of the one underneath) but I don’t consider that a good solution. More experimentation needed. Maybe someone else can come up with something they can explain. Edited January 18, 2020 by GarryP Added extra info'. Quote
mswift Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Thanks Garry, I appreciate this. I will battle along again with it tomorrow. Quote Murray Swift Retired Graphic Designer – Publisher / Photo / Designer iMac Senoma, iPad
GarryP Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 You’re welcome. Maybe a better solution will pop into my head when I don’t expect it to. Quote
