SYMPTOMS
When you apply both 3-D borders and shadowing to a paragraph, then use the LineStyle property to return the type of borders applied for top, bottom, left, and right sides of the border for that paragraph, the returned values for bottom and right borders are wdLineStyleEngrave3D (or 22). The expected returned values would be wdLineStyleEmboss3D (or 21).
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
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
