Hello;
When I set a paragraph border as WPBRD_DOTTED, WPTools 6.16.2 paints it as a solid border. If I save the document and then I open it with MS-WORD or with WPTools 4x, it is showed dotted.
Why is that?.

Hi,
the dotted pen style is a pixel based pattern. It depends on the device resolution how it is printed.

Sorry but I tried for monthds to make WPTools 6 to show very simple paragraph borders without success, and this one is just a case. WPTools has no problem to print a dotted line (please note de margin box dotted line). It has problems with paragraph border in general.
If I set dotted border with WP6 I see this:
Not only if paints solid line, it also forget to print a bottom line in a box.
But if I open this document with WP4, I see it very well:
Same if I open it with MS-Word:
Best regards,

Hi,
WPToolls 4 always used device resolution for painting, not a changed resolution as V5 and V6 do. I assume you set a specific border width, please set it to 0, thats the minimum width. With current version always the GID is usec -that does not do wider dotted lines.

We can control how de users define the borders, and we can stablish a limitation to cero width when a dotted border is used.
But we can´t control what they bring in from other text editors that have the capacity of using dotted borders with width bigger than cero.
So I think WP reader has to fix this parameters, or it has to paint an acceptable representation (for example without loosing a border like in my example screenshot), without errors.
I think the best is the reader solution, because in that way WP will paint properly, and also we will have a chance to edit that properties in a WYSIWYG way.
Thank you.
