I think that you set borders either using a Style (just a guess, never
have done it, but it would imply that the style itself specifies the
border), or by manipulating a cell (or probably a cell range, I am guess
rather than grabbing a copy of my book). I know that I do cover this in
my book, and maybe in my free macro document. I do have this bit of code
sitting around (and I see that it uses a table, oops)
Dim v
Dim x
v = oTable.TableBorder
x = v.TopLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.TopLine = x
x = v.LeftLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.LeftLine = x
x = v.RightLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.RightLine = x
x = v.TopLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.TopLine = x
x = v.VerticalLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.VerticalLine = x
x = v.HorizontalLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 0
v.HorizontalLine = x
x = v.BottomLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.BottomLine = x
'v.Distance = 51
oTable.TableBorder = v
This just gives you a hint at how to do what you want, since it likely
does not do what you want.
Notice that I do "stupid" things like this...
x = v.BottomLine
x.OuterLineWidth = 2
v.BottomLine = x
This is because the following will fail:
v.BottomLine.OuterLineWidth = 2
This fails because v.BottomLine returns a copy of the structure, rather
than a reference to the structure. so, what the working code does, is to
create and modify a copy, then assign it back. So, why does assigning it
back work rather than just assign it to a copy? Well, you ask too many
question :-) or, it is because it is internally treated as a set (I did
not check the real reason).

thanks oliver however I dont see how to get the borders and width
since is not color based is nowhere to be found near that IDL. The
only border I found was for table which I am not sure is the same as
the spreadsheet borders.

I am not sure if this is the best list to ask OOoBasic questions but
there it goes. If there is a better list for this, please let me know.
