SYMPTOMS
========

The BorderColor Property does not change the color of an object's border color
unless other properties of the object are set to specific values. The properties
that must be set before the BorderColor Property becomes effective differ for
each object.

RESOLUTION
==========

Set the appropriate other properties for the object to a setting that will allow
the BorderColor Property to be effective.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
