Yes; but after that we going different directions...

The point being.. Table border lacks the same choice.. Cell/row/table. You have
to select those cells in advance. This isn't the case for background. As there
is a drop down to select the area

They drop down is obviously slightly confusing if you pre-select the area to
set the background for.. I have selected a full row; it still shows cell etc
(but that's here slightly off topic)

The point being; the table border dialog doesn't have the same setting. As said
this can go multiple directions (expected results).. But in my vision table
border & table area should be the same in workflow. Or I'm not seeing a
legitimate reason to a differentiation between 'area background' and 'border'.
In both cases the area for the change being relevant. 

So again put differently the workflow for 'border' and area is different and it
makes no sense to me. Except being the design
