Cell Properties

Defines borders around objects in the report layout. Along with text and background colors, borders can highlight certain columns or text objects. For example, in a report that lists customer sales, you could highlight the total sales for each customer by drawing a border around the total sale amount. Another use of borders is to display the details of a report in a table or grid.

As you select various cell properties, a preview of the border’s appearance around the object displays in the Sample box.
