Remarks

If the OutsideLineStyle property is set to either wdLineStyleNone or False, setting this property has no effect.

Example

This example adds borders between rows and between columns in the first table of the active document, and then it sets the colors for both the inside and outside borders.

If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count >= 1 Then
    Set myTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
    With myTable.Borders
        .InsideLineStyle = True
        .InsideColor = wdColorBrightGreen
        .OutsideColor = wdColorDarkTeal
    End With
End If

This example adds a dark red, 0.75-point double border around the first paragraph in the active document.

With ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Borders
    .OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleDouble
    .OutsideLineWidth = wdLineWidth075pt
    .OutsideColor = wdColorDarkRed
End With
