Re: Table Headings
Try using "points" (pt). 1pt is 1/72 inch. You can use 0.5 pt for example. -Karen Scott Moore wrote: > > You're right. I misunderstood your message.

You're right. I misunderstood your message. Even with a border-width="1px", the border seem kinda large. Is there a way to specify a smaller width for the gridline?

I do have cells like that - some have only one line of text, some have two or more. Since the border is for the cell, not the inside the cell, it works fine.

Have one of the cells wrap text so it grows taller than the other cells. Then you'll see the problem.
