Thickness of border lines

I should like to define the thickness of cell border lines in QP as one 
can do for WP table cells. Is it possible, and if so how? At the very 
least I should like to have the equivalent of WP 'hairline', which is 
much thinner than the thinnest line offered by QP.

A functional alternative to achieve the visual effect of a thinner line is to 
choose a line color that contrasts less with the general environment; it will 
require some experimentation to find an optimal combination.

But my complaint is that this offers only a limited selection of line 
styles, unlike WP which gives the opportunity to determine the line 
thickness. The thinnest line offered by QP is much thicker than the WP 
thinnest standard, 'hairline', which would suit me fine even if I can't 
determine a dimensioned thickness.

Then a kludge is the nearest I can get.

Insert|Shapes|Rectangle - drag to create.
Right-click, Properties, Fill: [X] (none)
Default Line is the thinnest, black.
Drag to position around your Table.

Multiple such rectangles can outline Cols and Rows, though this 
is not a swift operation, to the point that I think I should use 
macros to position the boxes. 

Except that in a quick test I cannot get the macro to resize a 
Floating Shape.

Some memory is needed here. I tried also in QP9, where I used to 
do this regularly, and  now seems to have no effect 
there either.-(}
