Description gleppert 2011-07-15 12:47:06 UTC
Applying decorative effects to page borders is a frequently used feature in MS Word and WordPerfect and an often requested feature for OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Decorative borders are used for many different types of documents, such as certificates, posters, phone lists, leaflets, memos, invitations, and more.

Whereas this feature in MS Word is somewhat limited, the functionality in WordPerfect produces higher quality documents. Please see the attachments to this bug.

Currently, in LibreOffice "Format"-"Page" - "Borders" provides only very limited functionality.

It seems that the addition of this feature is of little importance to users, because no one has followed it since several years ago!
