Join Dennis Taylor for an in-depth discussion in this video Add/remove strikethrough and borders with keystroke shortcuts, part of Excel 2016: Tips and Tricks.
- [Voiceover] There are two quick keystroke shortcuts…for using borders and strikethrough.…I wanna put a border on just the cells…in this worksheet right here, called Profits,…on the numbers right here.…These are the only cells in this worksheet…that are not formulas.…I wanna put a border around them.…And I can press Ctrl + Shift + 7.…Could also be expressed as Ctrl + Shift + &.…Now many times when you apply borders,…you don't see them right away if the cells…are highlighted so I'll click outside…the highlighted area and now I can see the border.…
This is a thin perimeter border,…and that's what Ctrl + Shift + 7 does.…If I want a border around these down here,…I'll highlight them, Ctrl + Shift + 7,…once again click outside of it.…You certainly have options for other border features,…and if these cells should have a thicker border,…you can certainly, by way of the Font group on the home tab,…click the border drop arrow, choose some other options.…How about a thick outside border.…Or maybe, for even more choices, go down to More Borders,…
