Highlight cell border in Google Docs

Question

I'm trying to create a table in Google Docs. I need a header row at the top and a similar column on the left side. To distinguish these from the rest of the table I am trying to embolden the line which separates them from the rest of the table, something like the middle line below:

If I make a selection of cells, a little disclosure triangle appears in the upper right cell of the selection. If I click on this I can select which border edges are displayed, but I can't control their formatting. If I select the menus: Format -> Paragraph Styles -> Borders and Shading I can bold the border "under" each cell, but this winds up not actually affecting the border, but rather an area above it:

How can I just bold specific segments of table borders?

Answer 1

• select top row of your table
• click the triangle on the right of your selection
• chose a bottom row of selection to be highlighted
• click on that button with lines
• select width of the border
• done
