I insert a table in OneNote. I need to format the borders in the table (make them thicker, a different color or both). I am not seeing an option to do this. Same thing when I paste in a picture. I want my picture to have a "frame" around it. Don't see an option for this either. Any Ideas?

    Hi @Dom

    OneNote is predominantly used as a note-taking application, its strengths lie in its simplicity. Compared with Word, Excel, etc., there are fewer options for table formatting.

    Currently we are unable to set the border thickness. Please refer to the documentation for the options that can be set: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/format-a-table-03a23b1f-5fdd-40aa-b677-ce32ef47f9af

    Sometimes, to improve the look of a table on a page, you might format a table to resemble a simple spreadsheet.

    Then you may format table in Excel. For more details, please refer to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/convert-a-onenote-table-to-an-excel-worksheet-f693d0ec-aad7-4441-9596-e5e1e641935d
