It actually applies to the space between the border and the text, but it is
decidedly a bug, as JN points out, when you can't get to the Border and
Shading Options dialog to change it.

It means that the border width must be greater than or equal to 1pt, and
not
greater than 31pt.

Hi. I have a large document which has a few tables in it.
I am trying to outline each table with a blue line.
I highlight the table, click BORDERS AND SHADING, but I only get the
shading tab and when I try and click Borders I get this message:
The measurement must be between 1 pt and 31 pt.
What on earth is that supposed to mean???
I'm getting the message on any other of the tables and cells and rows.
Hope someone can help
J
