As well as I am able to figure out, the only way to add these lines is to individually select each cell (double-click), then make sure you have a Color selected for lines in the Properties tool, then go to the Line tab of Properties Tool and select the boxes for lines at the top, bottom, left and right. If you have a large table, it will be laborious.
A Plan B if your a bit savvy with a text editor would be to save your .sla file, then load it into your editor (I used Emacs) and do a search and replace: for TopLine="0" substitute TopLine="1", BottomLine="0" > BottomLine="1", LeftLine="0" > LeftLine="1", RightLine="0" > RightLine="1". It would be nice if these variables were together in the file, but they're scattered among the blob of variables for each OBJECT (and each cell is an individual OBJECT) We're hoping for more ability to generate global properties for tables, and other features. Plan C might be to make the table in oowriter and export as EPS, then import that to Scribus. Greg
