Is there any easy way to have a vertical border line on
only the right side of my left shared border?
Thanks,
Barb

Define "easy".

In general, you'll have to add a one-row, two column table
to the left shared border area, and put your existing
content in the left-hand cell. Then, modify the HTML for
the right-hand cell so it resembles:

<td style="font-size:1px; background-color:
#000000">&nbsp;</td>

If this produces too wide a line, then change the new
table's cell padding to zero.

There are many variations to this technique. For example:

o You may prefer to use a transparent GIF file rather
than "font-size:1px;" and "&nbsp;"

o You may prefer to set up a css rule in your page or
in a linked style sheet, and use that instead of
the style= attribute. For example, in your stylesheet:

.lineprop {font-size:1px; background-color: #000000; }

and in your HTML:

<td class="lineprop">

Insert a table in the shared border. With your curser in the table/cell, select outside borders on the toolbar. You can use right, top, left, bottom.
