Using custom ruling and shading
The table is almost finished, but you need some additional ruling, and you need to shade
the
2002
column to highlight the results. Because the additional ruling and shading you
need do not follow a pattern, you can’t specify them in the table format. Instead, you’ll
define some custom ruling and shading for the table.
1
Drag from the heading cell that contains the text
2002
to the rightmost heading cell.
The four cells are selected.
2
Choose Table > Custom Ruling & Shading.
3
Select Very Thin in the Apply Ruling Style scroll list.
Zooming into a higher percentage makes it easier to see slight differences in line thickness
when editing ruling styles.
