I think, it's not a missing functionality but a BUG. In my case I not only did not get the borders that had been defined in the style to use, but got borders in a different way. And the functionality that we use - apply a certain style - is an official function of calc, I didn't read anything of reduced funcionality of certain properties of styles. When I did not open an issue, it's because in 3 years I never read about this problem in the mailing-lists that I use to consult. So I thought, there might be very little interest for it. And there are a cuple of issues waiting more time for a solution and more users waiting impatiently....... I'm afraid, that an issue about this theme would be waiting until OO 5.0. (and because I found a way to manage it with background-colors instead of borders) _________________________________________________________________________ Claudia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
