Hi Ken,
Select the row whose bottom line you want to become thicker. Be sure the
whole row is selected.
Go to Format> Borders & Shading. (You can do this via the Formatting
Palette as well but I prefer the main menu.)
By default, at the lower right corner of the dialog box, you should see
"Apply to: Cell." If "cell" is not selected for some reason, select it.
In the Preview section of the dialog box, you should see a graphic (with
lines representing text) that looks like it has a border around it and a
line down the middle (in other words, two cells of a table). Click on
*only* the bottom line of the surrounding border and it should disappear
(leaving three vertical lines and the top border).
Note: You can also select or unselect any of the border lines by clicking
on the various little boxes that surround the main graphic.
Now, go to the box called "Width" and set the line thickness to whatever you
like. Return to the graphic and click on the space where you unselected the
bottom border line (or click on the appropriate "little box"). The bottom
border line should now appear looking thicker, depending on the line width
you chose.
Note: You can do the same thing with any cell border and change not only
the width of the line but the style as well.
This is tricky to describe but hopefully it will make sense to you.
