SUMMARY
=======

When you apply borders using Visual Basic for Applications commands, you can
specify the line style and the line width of the border to be applied. Each
border line style has a different number of varying line widths that can be
applied to a border. That is, all line widths are not available to use with
every line style.

Also, the list of wdLineWidth constants are available for use in a macro
regardless of the line style being applied. There is no programmatic method
available for determining whether a particular line width is a valid width to
use with a chosen border line style. If you apply an invalid line width to a
line style, the macro will return an error when you run it (it will not return
an error when it's compiled).

This article contains the list of wdLineStyle constants and the wdLineWidths that
can be used with the line style.
