Introduction to Border Lines in WPS Documents
Border lines in WPS documents are used to define the edges of text boxes, tables, and other elements. They can enhance the visual appeal of your document and help to organize content effectively. Adjusting the border line properties can be a simple task, and this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Choosing the Border Style
The border style refers to the pattern and thickness of the line. Here's how to choose the right style for your needs:
1. Select the line style: In the border settings, you will see a variety of line styles to choose from. These can range from solid lines to dashed or dotted lines.
