But that function actually did not help, because as far as I found out, TableBorder does not work the way it did before (OOo 2.3), but removes the lines in most cases. <BR>
I am still trying to find the cause (and hoping it's fixed in 3.5)<BR>

I'm working on a TableBorder2 property that contains BorderLine2 instead
of BorderLine, that will be for 3.6 though so probably doesn't help you
right now with your actual problem.

I am looking forward to TabelBorder2
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>
<PRE>

&gt; Simple type casting or picking the innerlinewidth etc. shows zero
&gt; values.

That might also be due to some bugs around the BorderLine properties,
which we only recently fixed. Master and 3-5 may already be better,
some fixes are also in 3-5-0. Especially if for non-double lines only
InnerLineWidth was set and OuterLineWidth was 0 then no border was
drawn, may be workarounded by setting OuterLineWidth instead.

I will check Tableborders again once 3.5 is out.
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>
<PRE>

&gt; Before doing a conversion tool myself, i would like to know if this has
&gt; already been done.
&gt; If not, can someone point me to the code where Borderline2 is
&gt; interpreted, so that I can reuse that code?

You can peek into editeng/source/items/frmitems.cxx methods
SvxBoxItem::LineToSvxLine() and lcl_lineToSvxLine() and
editeng/source/items/borderline.cxx method
SvxBorderLine::GuessLinesWidths().
