Default Word 2007/2010 doesn't implement shading properly

If you set the background shading color for a line of text, the background
shading color only applies directly to the line of text and not the spacing
before or after.

Suppose you select a text paragragh and its heading to be shaded light gray.
You increase spacing below the heading and text body, select the heading
text and put a bottom border to it. Notice how that breaks the shading.

I'm not seeing this. If I shade a heading and body text (the entire
paragraph, not just a single line of text), applying a border to the heading
makes no difference: the entire block is shaded. It is true that the shading
does not fill the Spacing Before on the heading. If you want shading above
the heading, you can add a top border to the heading (it can be white or the
same color as the shading) and increase the "Distance from text" in the
Border and Shading Options
