How to delete table borders in Word, which is a question that many people will probably wonder if not formed in using Word software. So let TipsMake.com answer that question in today's article.
Method 1
First you need to black out the table cell to remove borders. The highlighted method is to click and drag the mouse to the cells you need to select.
After blacking out the cells you want to delete the borders. You go to the Home ribbon .
In the Paragraph section , you will see a square image with three sides, right and left, drawn by a dotted line, with just the lower edge drawn by a straight line. This is the Borders icon .
Click on this icon, you will see a list of function lines related to the line display of the table.
Bottom Border: Underline below
Top Border: Underline above
Left Border: Underline to the left
Right Border: Underline on the right
All Borders: Brick lines for all
Outside Borders: dash outline
Inside Borders: Inside lines
Inside Horizontal Border: Horizontal line inside
Inside Vertical Border: The vertical line inside
When you look at this list you will see grayed out lines indicating "selected".
When you select an item, the line of the table will be displayed. Looking at the example, the table is visible for all the lines so the top, bottom, and left lines are shown in gray. Following that, All Borders , Outside Borders , Inside Horizontal Border , Inside Vertical Border are also in the "selected" state.
So when you don't want to display the borders around a table, just uncheck Outside Borders .
As you can see below, when you select Outside Borders , the outer border of the table you selected disappears.
Except for the Paragraph section in the Home ribbon , you can find this Borders function in many other places. For example, when you right-click a selected table, you can also display the Borders function in the quick function bar.
Or look for it in the Design ribbon (which will appear when you select the chart). Borders will be in the Borders section of this ribbon.
Method 2
Except the method of using the Borders function for tables, you can also use another function to erase the outer borders.
As with Option 1, you must first select the table to remove the borders from. Then open the ribbon Layout , this ribbon Layout is the special Table Tools ribbon at the bottom used to edit the table you have selected, not the general Layout of Word to edit for the entire text.
In this Layout ribbon , there is the Draw section , click on the Eraser that has a chart and a pink eraser.
Now that your mouse pointer has turned into an eraser, you use this eraser to erase the borders around the table by clicking on the straight lines.
You can choose to click or click the mouse to move along the horizontal line to delete. As a result, you will get a table that has deleted the borders:
