WD2000: Acceptable Values of wdLineWidth Constant (in wdLineStyle) (212587)

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 is 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 returns an error when you run it (it does not return an error when it is compiled).

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