So the snapshot shows the output of your workflow?

What is your desired output?

Hi @Sensy2k ,

 

I came up with a workaround that might work for you. I've split the text you want to outline the box off into a separate stream and used a table tool, in the default settings of which I've changed the Table border to yes.

So for that single header

I had this output

The I've joined it back to the original data and used a layout tool configured to vertical layout with section breaks, which gave me this:

Not sure if that's the kind of the thing you are after, hope it helps.

This is the output from your workflow.

You want to border color to be black?

@AngelosPachis, thanks for trying it. If you look at both the border styles, it is not what I have asked.  From your solution, header has thick style and data has thin one (highlighted in red), I want the one which is highlighted in green.

@Qiu Yes, below is the output from my workflow however it has thick border style but I am aiming for the border style highlighted in green below.  I am not bothered on border color. Thank you.

Hi @Sensy2k ,

 

Now that you know how it's done, maybe you can proceed and get familiar with it and bring it to the format/border width that is ideal for you? Personally, I struggle to see the difference between the two lines but you might have a better understanding of that.

 

Thanks,

 

Angelos
