Rob,

How would the program know if you DIDN'T want all the current borders to
change to the new color?

Thanks for the back and forth.

I believe, if anyone ever reads these posts, that they'll agree with my
post. I have a programming background and showed this to a couple of other
programmers that agree about the default behaiviour.

You seem to think that I am somehow going to deprive you of some
functionality, which isn't the case at all.

If they can assume that a red text attribute applies to all the text in the
cell, they could also assume that a red attribute applied to a cell applies
to all four borders.

It's really no more complicated than that.
