Created attachment 49433 [details] 1.xlsx I have a file (see attachment) and can't to save cells border width. Steps: 1. File -> Open (1.xlsx); 2. Select cells (A1:L54) 3. Right click -> Format Cells 4. On "Borders" page change "Width" from 2.50pt to 2.00pt. 5. Hit "OK" button. 6. File -> Save. 7. File -> Open (1.xlsx); 8. Select cells (A1:L54); 9. Right click -> Format Cells; 10. On "Borders" page "Width" is still 2.50pt. P.S. I'm using LO 3.4.2 RC2 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Confirmed with [Win2K LibreOffice 3.4.2 OOO340m1 (Build:202)]. Happens with Microsoft 2007 XML and Openoffice XML. Not only is the width gone, but the rest too. Including 'Line Arrangement', 'Style', 'Color', 'Shadow style position' and 'Distance' (some more ?).
Reproduced on LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:103) for OpenSuse Linux. I tried to reproduce this under an .ods file created originally in calc and there were no problems. When downloading the attachment and reproducing the errors, it seems like the borders problem persists. So from my guess this problem has to do with importing an excel file into calc, in which case the format settings are not changed.

LibreOffice 3.5.0 beta2 The bug still persists.
Can you check with a master build. It should be gone there.
It is even more easy. This is not a bug because xls and xlsx only support a limited range of border types. Hair, thin, medium and thick. So saving the border like that means that we need to map our more complex border types to the limited functionality offered by xls/xlsx.
