Note that a border underlines the entire paragraph width. If your text is
not justified and is narrower than the margin width, you can add indents to
make the paragraph just the width of the text.

The "Distance from text" on paragraph borders applies only if there is

there is no border. You can get around this by adding white borders, but
that is really helpful only when you want to increase the distance

you will still have the thickness of the border itself (though this can
be
reduced to ¼ point, which might be negligible).
Thank you for your quick reply! I was not aware of the possibility to
set color and line weight separately. Anyway the 0 value is now
persistent, but the gap between the vertical borders and the paragraph
seems to be some kind of default.
I will work around this by putting all elements which need the line into
tables, as the cells crop the borders.
