Article ID: Q165252

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to set the default border for Borders and Shading with Visual Basic for Applications commands, the new default is not reflected when viewing the Borders and Shading dialog box (on the the Format menu).

However, the change is evident when viewing the Tables and Borders toolbar.

CAUSE

The following example Visual Basic for Applications macro demonstates this behavior:

   Sub SetDefaultBorder()
      Application.Options.DefaultBorderLineStyle = wdLineStyleDouble
      Application.Options.DefaultBorderLineWidth = wdLineWidth150pt
   End Sub

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
