Default Borders in consecutive paaragraphs

I believe it is useful for the TOC styles (especially when the entire entry
is linked, making it more difficult than usual to access the Modify Style
dialog for the TOC style), so I leave it enabled for those; I think those
are about the only ones that are so formatted by default.

I always remove the update automatically option - to quote one of your
fellow MVPs - it should be renamed "screw up automatically".

Anyway, it works now, so thanks again.

TOC styles are set to update automatically, so you can select any two

TOC
entries at the appropriate level and apply this formatting, and it will

be
saved to the style.

I was trying to do it by modifying the TOC1 style. As you save, you get

this
option if you select two paragraghs with the TOC1 style attached before
selecting Modify but in theory you didn't ought to need to do this if
modifying a style.

You need to select two paragraphs to make that option available in

the
Borders and Shading dialog.

But how do you do an inside border when applied to a paragraph, not

a
table?

You'll need a Horizontal Inside Border as well.

I am trying to define TOC styles so that every entry in the TOC

has
a
bottom
border. The problem is that if consecutive paragraphs have the

same
border,
the border is only displayed in the last of the paragraphs.
