Trying to get a table to have only horizontal lines


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to replicate this visual style from Microsoft Word where the table items are separated horizontally, but not vertically.

In Affinity, however, I can only seem to get a border around the entire table. How can I set something up like the example above?

Ah, thank you. I was misunderstanding how those boxes worked. I didn't realize each selection had individual settings. Thanks!

No problem, to be fair it's not immediately apparent how they work, I know in such as word, similar icons are toggle switches, turning table and cell borders on and off but in Affinity you control visibility by selecting the icon of choice and editing the stroke width, colour etc. I actually prefer the Affinity method.

I prefer it now as well, that I know how it's working. I've used Adobe for a very long time and Microsoft for a very long time, and Affinity is blending them in the best ways possible. Still really excited every time I get to click one of the Affinity buttons in my taskbar because it means I'm probably going to find something else new that I've wanted for literal decades.
