    So I’m creating a new style for my table – I call it HEADER.
    I create a new style.
    It’s not based on any other style.
    I go into cell style options, set text inset to 1.
    I set cell stroke to 0.5pt, solid, black. I de-select the blue lines, so only the bottom one shows (I just want a black line on the bottom of the cells)
    I click OK…..

    I then double click the HEADER style in my cell styles pallet, go into strokes and fills and ALL the blue lines are back! I don’t want them,!! I only want the bottom blue line, all other setting are still there.
    This is driving me mad.

    But is the black rule only showing up where you want it? Or in all places?

    The blue lines are only InDesign showing you the cell outlines. To get rid of that, I think you have to turn off show frame edges.

    the black line shows around the whole of the actual cell, even though i have only selected the blue line on the bottom of the cell in the settings.
    i then click OK. when i go back into the settings, the blue line now shows around the whole of the cell again. it’s as if it doesn’t save my settings..,.

    That is the normal behavior!

    So make a small test:
    1. Create a new table with 3 columns
    2. deselect everything
    3. alt-Click on the button for new cell style
    4. Go to strokes and fill, deselect all blue lines, except the bottom
    5. choose a 2 Pt stroke in red
    6. Select a cell in your table and apply the style
    7. Expected Result: You should have a cell with a 2 Pt red bottom stroke

    8. Go back to your cellstyle and have a look at strokes and fill
    9. Alle blue lines are shown, because this is a Proxy of your cell
    10. The important thing here is, that there are no values shown, because they are different on each side
    11. If you deselect everything except the bottom, you will see your 2 Pt red again
    12. But if you select e.g. the top you will see no value, cause these values are inherit from the parent table

    Now clear?
