WD98: Paragraph.Border.Linestyle Incorrect After Applying Shadow

CAUSE

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following example Visual Basic for Applications macro demonstrates this problem. The macro first applies 3-D borders to a paragraph and then applies a paragraph shadow. A loop is set to return the values of the type of border applied to each side of the paragraph.

   Sub ParaShadowBorder()
      Set oBorders = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Borders
      oBorders.OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleEmboss3D
      oBorders.Shadow = True
      For Each Border In oBorders
         MsgBox Border.LineStyle
      Next Border
   End Sub
