Tablesmit

Borders that match your document, not your tool's defaults.

Choose from solid, dashed, dotted, or double borders. Set them on any selection — all cells, outside edges only, inside dividers only, or a single edge. Pick any colour.

Benefits

Every border configuration you need

All borders, outside borders only, inside borders only, top, bottom, left, right, or no border at all. The same options you have in Microsoft Word's table formatting.

Any border colour

The border colour picker lets you match your brand palette, your document's accent colour, or keep it neutral. Border colour applies independently of cell fill colour.

Multiple stroke styles

Solid for standard tables. Dashed for draft or provisional data. Dotted for subtle separators. Double for outer borders that need visual weight.

Exports exactly as set

Border styles render correctly in PDF, PNG, and JPEG export. Excel export preserves border style and colour using native .xlsx border formatting.

How it works

1

Select your cells

Click a cell or use Shift+click to select a range. Border changes apply to the current selection.

2

Open the Borders panel

Find the Borders section in the right sidebar. Choose a border type from the dropdown — All Borders, Outside, Inside, or a single edge.

3

Set style and colour

Choose a border style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted, Double) and pick a border colour. The table updates instantly.

Use cases

  • Applying outside-only borders to a table section to visually group related rows
  • Removing all borders from a caption row while keeping borders on the data cells
  • Using dashed borders to mark rows that contain estimated or provisional data
  • Setting a double bottom border on the header row for academic table formatting
