Looking at your screenshots, I see that you have single cells in your table with many lines of text. You do not have a single table "row" for each line of text.

You cannot enable internal borders because there are no internal borders. No gridlines will display inside a cell.

See the screenshot below. Note the end-of-cell markers.

    In the screenshot you are in the "layout" tab. Just to the left of that when you have the table selected is the "table design" tab.

    Click on that.

    There is a button near the far right that is called "borders". Click on that dropdown and choose the option you want.

    The attached file is the button you should see and the dropdown it should have.

    You already have View Gridlines enabled on the (Table) Layout tab.

    Hi,

    Yes "view Gridlines" are enabled. Should I disabled them and then try using Borders?
