SYMPTOMS

You can format a table to have BorderArt around it. You cannot, however, frame an individual cell or selection of cells with BorderArt. If you try to format any part of a table with BorderArt, the BorderArt will appear around the entire table.

RESOLUTION

To make an individual cell or selection of cells stand out, format it with a regular border or change its shading to a different pattern or color.
