2007 Picture Border Color Will Not Stick

[Carol Helene]

Adding a color border to a picture saves as black in 2007, yet works in 2003.
What gives?

Hi Carol,

What are the steps you're using? I'm assuming you're creating the border in Word 2007, is that correct?

Bob,
I'm saving the file in Compatibility mode, and get a pop-up about errors
then. The border color does still appear, until I re-open the file. Border
is black.

Process before that is to R-click picture>Borders and Shading>Borders
tab>select color & weight.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

There is clearly a bug of some sort there. Exactly what it is and whether
there is a workaround I'm not sure. I will investigate further and try to
pin it down a bit.

As far as I can tell, the significant factors are (a) working on an in-line
picture, (b) using the old borders and shading dialogue, and (c) applying a
new theme colour.

I have escalated this but, to be honest, I wouldn't expect a fix to a
problem relating to an old dialogue and an old format, so don't hold your
breath.
