    Smile Remove only outside table borders - updating code

    Hi Andy / John

    I've been trying to write code to remove only the 4 outside borders of any table that's selected. I found this closest code by Andy (after hours of googling and editing codes I've found online), but it's from 2006 and no longer works:
    http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/show...Outline-border

    Any help would be much appreciated, as always, thank you.

    Dim tblTemp As Table
    
    Set tblTemp = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Table
    With tblTemp
    .Rows(1).Cells.Borders.Item(ppBorderTop).Visible = msoFalse
    .Rows(.Rows.Count).Cells.Borders.Item(ppBorderBottom).Visible = msoFalse
    .Columns(1).Cells.Borders.Item(ppBorderLeft).Visible = msoFalse
    .Columns(.Columns.Count).Cells.Borders.Item(ppBorderRight).Visible = msoFalse
    End With
    
    It's just to remove (or make white to hide) the outside borders of any table, no matter how many rows or columns it has, no existing inside borders are changed.

    Thank you

    Does this work for you
    Sub ClearBorders()
    Dim b as Variant
    For each in Array(xlEdgeTop, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeleft, XlEdgeRight)
       Selection.Borders(b).Linestyle = xlNone
    Next
    End Sub

    There's a long standing bug in the Object Model. I have reported it several times!

    Possible workarounds

    1. Select the cell (with code) and run
    CommandBars.ExecuteMso("BordersNone")
    You will get an error if the cell is not selected.

    2 Set the Border to .Transparency=1
