FredB Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Trying to set up financial tables (balance sheet and income/expenditure). These need rules drawn before and after totals and subtotals. I expect to be able to do this with "stroke and fill" in the Table dialog. In Pageplus I could set a single rule at the top of a totals cell and a double rule at the bottom. Is this supposed to be possible in Publisher? It seems a fairly basic requirement if one is to satisfy the demands of the accountants (whose data I am trying to typeset). The alternative of a thicker rule below is not favourably regarded. While I could of course introduce an empty row underneath, with its own extra line, this seems a kludgy approach. Attached pdf derived from Pageplus shows what I am looking to achieve. cc2020-report.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with "kludgy" But can be done using just Decorations (3 of them) and no cell borders. It's up to you which way you want to do it Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredB Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Thanks, that does the trick. And of course if I assign a Paragraph style or two I can cut down on the work involved. I should stop trying to do things the Pageplus way ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
