SYMPTOMS
========

When you apply both 3-D borders and shadowing to a paragraph, then use the
LineStyle property to return the type of borders applied for top, bottom, left,
and right sides of the border for that paragraph, the returned values for bottom
and right borders are wdLineStyleEngrave3D (or 22). The expected returned values
would be wdLineStyleEmboss3D (or 21).

The following example Visual Basic for Applications macro demonstrates this
problem. The macro first applies 3-D borders to a paragraph and then applies a
paragraph shadow. A loop is set to return the values of the type of border
applied to each side of the paragraph.

      Sub ParaShadowBorder()
         Set oBorders = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Borders
         oBorders.OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleEmboss3D
         oBorders.Shadow = True
         For Each Border In oBorders
            MsgBox Border.LineStyle
         Next Border
      End Sub

======
