Adding table borders in Scribus

After having created a table in Scribus (version 1.3.3.12), I was surprised to see that when I created a pdf file, the table borders were invisible. I wanted the cell border lines to be visible.

Searching the web for possible solutions seemed futile.

But after playing around for some more time, I was able to figure it out and hence this blog post for someone else who is also seeking the solution.

To create borders for the cells in a table:

1. double click the cell
   
2. right click to view properties (keyboard shortcut F2),
   
3. under 'line' properties, check the check-boxes in the 'Cell Lines' group

Selecting a cell border twice (for instance once from a cell as 'Line at the left' and then from the next right cell as 'Line at the right'), will result in darker border lines. So, for each cell, be cognisant of the cell borders which already exist.

And that is it, even before exporting, you will be able to visually see darker cell border lines.
