            Bug ID: 141650
           Summary: Need ability to define a default border
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: PeterLairo at gmail.com

Description:
Need ability to define DEFAULT border styles (color, width, Synchronize, etc.)
that are INITIALLY presented when the user opens the Writer: Table Properties /
Border (Calc: Format Cells / Border) dialog (Screenshots coming...).

Steps to Reproduce:
This request affects all LO programs that have cell borders (Writer, Calc,
Draw, Impress). 

STR (Writer):

1. open a new Writer document
2. create a table of at e.g. 4x4 cells
3. select at least 2x2 cells
4. select Table / Properties, and the "Borders" tab.
5. look at all the PRESET settings (black, 0.05 pt, etc.)

Actual Results:
Actual Results:

The INITIALLY presented settings (black, 0.05 pt", Synchronized) are not
necessarily what the user usually wants.

Expected Results:
Expected Results:

The INITIALLY presented settings (black, 0.05 pt", Synchronized) should be
user-configurable (e.g.: blue, 2.00 pt, NOT Synchronized).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Other Information:

When we create a new or open an existing LO Document (Calc, and, ideally,
Writer, Draw, etc.), select cells, and want to create a border (CTRL+1, Tab:
Borders), we would like the INITIALLY PRESENTED Border Width (and ideally, all
other Border settings too) to be something we have PREVIOUSLY defined as a
DEFAULT.

Reason: The current default setting (black, thin line) does not satisfy the
more aesthetically oriented users among us. We are forced to adjust these
settings EVERY time. I, for example, would like to have color "Blue" and width
"2 pt" as the default for all my future documents (and, FWIW, "Synchronize" to
be "OFF").

What we do NOT need (at all) is the current ability (in e.g. Calc) to edit the
default template and to set the Background, Border Line Style, and Border Color
of a SELECTED SET of cells for ALL future new documents. That's just silly.
