Although you can add as many line styles to the border style cycle as you like, we recommend including no more than four such styles, with 'None' as the last. Use Microsoft Excel for Mac to organize your data both at work and at home. Understand the user interface of Microsoft Excel for the Mac to efficiently navigate and utilize all the features of the application. In this lecture we look at how we add borders and fills to our cells in Microsoft Excel.
Applying a Border to a Picture
After you insert a picture, you can add and modify the picture border by changing individual outline formatting using the the Colors, Weights, and Fills panel on the Formatting Palette on the Toolbox. The Colors, Weights, and Fills panel provides options to add a border, select a border color, and change border width and style. You can try different border combinations to find the one you want. If you don’t care for the results, you can use undo to remove it.
