Problem

Symptoms: Some lines do not display correctly in the document screen after a customer changes the appearance of lines in a table. Steps to Duplicate: 1. Create a table with 5 columns and 5 rows 2. In Table Edit, block the third column and press 3 (Lines), 1 (Left), 3 (Double) (You will see the double line in the document window) 3. Go to the second column and block it 4. Press 3 (Lines), 2 (Right), 2 (Single) or 5 (Dotted) (You will not see the change in the document screen but the change displays in View Document) Solutions: If the user changes the top border of one cell and the bottom border of the cell above, the border styles will overwrite each other with a slight offset. Page 711 of the manual, 3rd paragraph down from the Lines sub-heading explains this. In the document screen it still shows the dotted line because WP writes to the screen with text characters only. The reason WP allows the user to "combine" line styles is to provide a wider variety of borders. See memo 10715W for an explanation of ownership of lines in a table.
