Adding Borders to Cells

The light gray grid that appears on the worksheet helps your eyes move from cell to cell. Although you can print these gridlines, sometimes a different grid pattern better emphasizes your data. For example, you might put a decorative line border around the title or a double-line bottom border below cells with totals. You can add borders of varying colors and widths to any or all sides of a single cell or range. If you prefer, you can draw a border outline or grid directly on a worksheet.
