To change the colour of cell borders!

A cell border can be one colour or two colours. When you use two colours, the cell border has a three-dimensional appearance.

1    In the FrontPage Editor, move the insertion point inside the cell for which you want to set border colours. Make sure the size of the border has been specified in the Table Properties dialog box.
2    On the Table or shortcut menu, choose Cell Properties.
3    Do one of the following:

·    To have the border be one colour, select a colour from the Border drop-down list. To define a custom colour, select Custom from this drop-down list.
·    To have a two-colour border (creating more of a dimensional effect) select colours from the Light Border and Dark Border drop-down lists. Custom colours can be defined by selecting Custom from the drop down lists.

Note: When you only select a Light Border or a Dark Border, the second colour used for the cell border is the colour selected from the Normal drop-down list.
