You apply borders to some or all cells. Don't confuse borders with gridlines. Gridlines show the cells. A new worksheet has no borders, just gridlines. You can then put borders around whichever cells you want or just around parts of a cell, so not all 4 sides. Gridlines can be turned off to give more effect to borders.
