Default Supid message when applying border

Hi

I had the same problem when trying to change the color of a table.

No chance to fix it, it must be a bug!

To solve the problem, just save your file as a rich text file (.rtf), close
the document an re-open it with ms word. Save it again as a .doc file. Then
it should work again.

greetings

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
