SYMPTOMS
When you use the HasHorizontal or HasVertical property on a single table cell or paragraph, the property returns True, instead of False as expected.
Visual Basic for Applications Help for these properties states that the properties should return False for a single specified object, as in the following Help examples:
HasHorizontal Property
True if a horizontal border can be applied to the object. Read-only Boolean.
Remarks
Horizontal borders can be applied to ranges that contain cells in two or more rows of a table, or ranges that contain two or more paragraphs.
HasVertical Property
True if a vertical border can be applied to the specified object. Read-only Boolean.
Remarks
Vertical borders can be applied to ranges that contain cells in two or more columns of a table.
CAUSE
This functionality is by design in Microsoft Word and is an error in Microsoft Visual Basic Help. A horizontal or vertical border can be applied (preset) to a range that contains a single paragraph or table cell. When you press ENTER to create a new paragraph, or press TAB to create a new table row, the horizontal or vertical border is automatically applied.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
