--- Comment #27 from Ashok <[email protected]> ---
The default border in Calc 4.1 is of 0.05 thick whereas the default border in
MS Office 2010 is a much thicker line when you print.
The equivalent line thickness when you print are as given below:
Calc 4.1 default border (0.05 thick) -> MS Office Dotted Line border
Excel 2010 default border (Normal Single line border) -> Calc 4.1 about 0.60
thick line

When exporting to .xls file
Calc 4.1 Exports 0.05 and 0.60 thick borders as Normal Excel border.
Whereas Calc 4.0 used to export 0.05 border as dotted line and 0.60 thick
border as Normal border in Excel
While viewing on the screen the way Calc 4.1 exports is OK, however while
printing the Calc 4.0 results were more like Excel.

In case of import of .xls files
Calc 4.1 does not recognise the MS Office Dotted Line border format. (The line
style in the property box is blank and the line is shown as dashed line on the
screen and does not print)  -  This is a big problem since Calc 4.0 used to
export its default border (0.05 thick) to MS Office Dotted line and such
borders of all the existing files made with Calc 4.0 are shown as dashes and
not printed now.
Calc 4.1 imports Excel 2010 default border (Normal Single line border) as 0.05
thick border. While viewing of the screen this is OK, however while printing
the line thickness is much less when compared to Excel.
Calc 4.0 used to import MS Office Dotted Line border as 0.05 thick line and
Excel 2010 default border (Normal Single line border) as 0.20 thick border. So,
the printing was much similar to the result obtained in Excel.

Hope some changes are made to the next upgrade since lot of files saved using
previous versions of Calc cannot be printed unless the cell borders are edited
and changed.
