to do is come right here make sure the tip of the brush is on the line then click on it and drag to the end perfect so once the brush is still active maybe i want to do the same thing to this particular line on top awesome to disable the brush i click on water painter and the brush is disabled next i format this table by selecting it so if i click in here i click on the cross icon then i go over to layout and i'll increase the height to 0.7 centimeters now i'll format individual cells so first of all the row on top i highlight everything then i align everything to the center the whole of this column i'll align it to left center the same goes to this particular column and here under unit price and amount since we are going to be talking about money they should be aligned to the right so i highlight everything in here then i click on align center right next i'm going to go ahead and adjust the columns so starting from here i move it this much i'll decrease the amount make sure you remove the highlighting like this much and i'll decrease the unit price column as well so that there will be enough space for discretion next thing i'm going to do is remove some lines here i don't want starting from this side i don't need all the inner lines so i highlight them up then i go over to table design and i choose no other but you can see that the line here is off meanwhile we need it and the line here as well so what we can do is i can highlight here that is the three cells here then i go over to borders then i choose left border oops it is so using the line weight i selected earlier i'll take it back to half and i'll go back to borders then i choose left border next i'll go ahead and highlight these three cells then i go to brothers this area i'll choose bottom border maybe i can add some more flavor to my tables by making the headings bullet perfect everything is set however you see that i have two pages which i don't want so what i'm going to go ahead and do is i want to decrease the margin down here below so to do that i go to the ruler right here then i hover in between the white area and the gray area i'll get these two headed arrows i click and drag down like this i'll go up and do the same thing so that i'll have one page i still have to pay this i cancel go up a bit now i have one page perfect one thing i can also do is select this text
