Hello

I try to add a line below a paragraph using the Borders and shading
dialog. I set a solid bottom border, apply it to the paragraph, and then
click "Options". In the border and shading options dialog, I set "From
text" to 1 pt for the bottom, and 0 pt for top, left and right.

Anyway, the bottom line will still overlap the column width a little
both at the left and at the right side. If I do the same inside a table
cell with no padding, this disappears. When I go back to the Border and
shading options, the values are reset to the default 4 pts.

Even if I apply a complete box and set "From text" to 0, there remains a
horizontal padding between the border and the text, though in this case
the "From text" values are kept. Inside a table cell, this border is cut
off at the left and the right side.

How can I make a border that does not go beyond the column?

(I tried finding Info about this searching the web, the MS knowledge
base, and also the MVP faq page, I did not find anything.)

Thanks for a hint!
Markus
