Changing Column Divider Line Color

I changed the font color for my entire document, however I can't figure out
how to change the column divider lines in that document. Help! :-) Thanks!
 
Select the paragraph you want the divider line to change colors. Try clicking
the home tab and going to "borders and shading" (right of shading bucket).
Next go to the bottom of all the choices and you will find "borders and
shading....) This will bring you to a screen and make sure you have borders
selected, not page borders on the top tab. Here you will have a choice of
colors to choose from.
 
Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the color or line weight of the
"line between columns."

Okay I figured it out. There's actually an error in the program. When yougo to borders and shadings and change the color or size. Nothing will getchanged. What you have to do is change whatever color or size you want for the border, then go over to where it says preview and click on the buttonthat disable/enable the borders. You will see that once you disable then enable the border line in the preview, the color will change. This looks like some kind of bug that needs to be reported.
 
Word has always worked this way (this procedure allows you to assign
different colors, styles, or weights to the respective borders of a cell or
paragraph), but column borders in tables are not the same thing as the "line
between columns" in newspaper-style columns.

Well figured out.
I added a Cover Page, and changed everything the way I like, except the line between columns.
So thanks guest. Everything's possible!
