Table borders visibility (for invisible Tables)

Unread post by gabriel57 »

Hi everybody, not an issue with H&M on itself, all is going well with it, and I'm happy with it.
:D

However, let me complain about the visibility of the Table borders, or even better their "placeholders" when there is still no formatting applied (0,0 px borders to make it invisible)
It is someway difficult for me (at least using this monitor) to locate the cells (or the Table borders). Must be me, I know, tell me visually impaired .... 8)

So, is there a way to make those borders thicker, or just change the color from the light grey to a darker one :?:
Thanks in advance for any hint.

I often work with 'invisible' tables too and I also find it difficult to locate cells and tables in my document.
The borders are definitely there, however they're so faint that I can only notice them when i put my chin on my desk :mrgreen:
Customization in this area would be great.

You can make the table borders stronger with the setting in View > Program Options > Editor. 8)

Hi Tim,

I would never think of looking there for that. Would never occur to me. (Obviously hasn't until now when I read these forum posts)

Perhaps somewhere in the Table tab in the Ribbon might be more obvious?

Hi John,

Actually, I've always thought that the strong table borders should be the default. :?
