cell borders in DOCX

[David Thielen]

Please take a look at
http://www.windwardreports.com/temp/CellBorders.zip - the first cell.
In document.xml it has:

<w:body>
<w:tbl>
<w:tblPr>
<w:tblW w:w="10817" w:type="dxa"/>
<w:tblInd w:w="170" w:type="dxa"/>
<w:tblBorders>
<w:top w:val="single" w:sz="2"
w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
<w:left w:val="single"
w:sz="2" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
<w:bottom w:val="single"
w:sz="2" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
<w:right w:val="single"
w:sz="2" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
</w:tblBorders>
<w:tblLook w:val="01E0"/>
</w:tblPr>
<w:tblGrid>
<w:gridCol w:w="5760"/>
<w:gridCol w:w="5057"/>
</w:tblGrid>
<w:tr w:rsidR="000827F7" w:rsidRPr="003E4DEB"
w:rsidTr="003C0D74">
<w:trPr>
<w:cantSplit/>
<w:trHeight w:val="537"/>
</w:trPr>
<w:tc>
<w:tcPr>
<w:tcW w:w="5760"
w:type="dxa"/>
<w:tcBorders>
<w:top
w:val="single" w:sz="2" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
<w:bottom
w:val="nil"/>
</w:tcBorders>

Should the right cell border be displayed as it is in tblBorders and
has no entry in tcBorders?

thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

I think the first cell's right border should not be displayed. The
tblBorders is used to control table's boder and tcBorders is for cell
border.

As we can see in the XML document,

The table's four borders all should be displayed.
The cell should only dispaly the top one because there are only top and
bottom in the tcBorders and the bottom's val is set to nil,
<w:tcBorders>
<w:top w:val="single" w:sz="2" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
<w:bottom w:val="nil"/>
</w:tcBorders>

Nil here should means that No Width, it specifies that the current width is
zero, regardless of any width value specified on the parent element.

Hope this helps!

Hi;

Ok, I think I understand. So...

The cell borders inside the table come from tblBorders/insideH and
tblBorders/insideV - correct?

But the right border of the right-most cell(s) comes from
tblBorders/right and the bottom border of the bottom cell(s) comes
from tblBorders/bottom - correct?

thanks - dave
