FWIW, if you'd prefer to leave the parameters unchanged, you could declare them beforehand with code like:
Const wdBorderTop As Long = -1
Const wdLineStyleSingle As Long = 1
This has the advantage that expressions like:
.Borders(wdBorderTop).LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
are much easier to interpret than:
.Borders(-1).LineStyle = 1
Yes, ya're right. Instead of setting Const variables everytime, I'd rather remember the numeric values which I've just found not too hard to memorise, clockwise (-1,-2,-3,-4) for wdBorderType, for example.
