Assigning table cell borders

[joe_l]

Imagine a table with several rows and columns where all bottom borders are 3 pt thick and all other borders 1 pt thick.

Workflow right now:

1) Select the whole table.

2) Pick "Bottom" and change to 3 pt.

+

3) Keep the selection, pick "Inside Horizontal" and change to 3 pt.

This could be shortened with just step 2). I mean, I selected several rows not just one, so why does only the last row get a thicker border?

I don’t understand what your ‘before’ and ‘after’ look like.
Can you give us an image which shows what you start with and what you want to end up with?

As I understand it, there is only one Bottom border - it's the bottom border of the last row you have selected not each individual row

I could argue, that since I selected several rows, I mean the bottom border of all selected rows. Bottom is bottom, not the very bottom.

It's the bottom of the selection according to the Help file

Border—specify which cell border(s) you would like to format within the current selection.

I know this is nitpicking. The German help talks about selected cells (plural), so I would expect, that this is a selection on a per-row-basis.
