Double underline a cell in Numbers

Can someone let me know how I can go about double underlining a cell in pages. When I click on the inspector --> table --> cell borders, and then select the bottom border I am unable to set it to double-underline. This is how it works in Microsoft Word, how do I do this in Pages? Any help would be great. Thanks.

No Double line borders but line thickness options from .25pt to 10pt if the line below 'thin' is selected on the format bar. I haven't heard of any downloadable borders for Numbers. Maybe in the future, Numbers is still on version 1. 🙂

Oh, and I don't mean double underlining just the number (by going into "Fonts" and selecting double-underline). I actually want to set my border to double underline, so it looks more like an accounting ledger. Can I download a set of border types (as opposed to just the "None", "Thin", and few others that come default.
Thanks

Something you might find useful as a workaround (or possibly even as a better way to accomplish what you want to do) is to add graphic shapes to the table as an overlay. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you could use unfilled boxes or lines, or a combination of both. Among other things, this would allow you to use different colors or opacities to achieve just about any look conceivable.
