1/4 point line in tables doesn't work

[AR]

Hi,
I'm creating a table in powerpoint. I'm going to set table lines
thinner than the usual 1pt.
Even if I set line width at 1/4pt Powerpoint doesn't keep this setting
and keeps lines' width at 1pt (or more).

Does anyone has a solution?
Thanks a lot

Have a nice day

I'm using Powerpoint 2003...sorry

Hi,

Turn the lines off using the buttons for each line.

Then set the size to 1/4 pt with no lines active. Then use the buttons to
reapply the lines at that 1/4 pt size.

Bizarre, huh ;-) There are other ways but that one allows you to see what is
happening.

I've already used this procedure. After having set a thinner line I
click yes but PowerPoint doesn't keep settings and my lines are always
1pt large.

The strangest thing is that if I set 1pt ore more width line it works.
I don't really know what to do
Thanks

Hi,

I sometimes hate PowerPoint's tables.

Anyway, I have checked and with this method I outlined, and the table line
is definitely 1/4 pt. That is:

strokeweight=".25pt"

But when I reload the dialogue box, it says 1 pt. But I checked again and it
is still set to 1/4 pt in reality. My hunch is there is something about the
dialogue box that is not reading correctly. It is set to 1/4 but reads as 1
pt.
