Harold,

Thanks for the info. I did pull up the dialog box (see attached file). The default group of settings for the borders are what I call the presets, as it places the borders around the cells as shown in the picture. I played with it some more after I sent in the question and found that if I used the user-defined borders on the left I could do exactly what I was looking to do. I also figured out how to place some space between the edges of the cells and the text in the cell.

I'm using Open Office 3.1 and trying to set borders around various cells.  I
found the border presets, but I don't find any way to set single borders,
e.g., top, right, left, or bottom.  Is there any other place I should be
looking at to do this?  If I open a compatible Excel file where borders have
been set singly, OO reads it without any problem and makes no changes to it.


I don't think that the Borders icon lets you do that, you need the
full Borders dialouge.From memory:
Right click the cell -> Formatting -> Borders
