Hmm, learn something new every day. But, I'm not getting anything that really looks dotted in print. It looks dotted on screen in FM, but prints as light gray. May do the job, but not quite dotted.
I did see the post about editing the MIF, but I'm not undertaking that at this late stage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

OK, you can create one. 1) In the Custom Ruling and Shading dialog's Apply Ruling Style list, select None and click Edit Ruling Style. 2) In the Edit Ruling Style dialog, enter "Dotted" (or any name you want) in the Name box. 3) Set Pen Pattern to something less than 100% and click Set. 4) Select some table cells and, in the Edit Ruling Style dialog, apply "Dotted" (or whatever you named it) to some borders. 5) Evaluate the results. If necessary, repeat using a different Pen Pattern setting (and maybe Width) until you like the result. Or at least can live with it. :-) HTH, and Happy Weekend! Richard G.
