Since I've been using white text on blue background in Windows and in OOo, and since there is no option for Color: Automatic in Paragraph Style: Table, and since I rarely print a document while I spent a long time working on it, I would like when I create a new table to have white border. (I'll use a macro to change it's color when it's time to print.)
However, if in
Styles and Formatting > Table > Modify > Borders
I set:
Line arrangement: Set all four borders
and
Color: White
when I create a new table it still has black borders.
What I would like to do is to make my default template create by default tables with white borders. How do I do it?
Also, does anybody know why they haven't yet set as the option
Color: Automatic
for table borders? Is there something that makes it very complicated?

Re: Table border color in template
Also, can someone explain to me why Bug 23655
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=23655
has been closed as invalid? I have difficulty following the reasoning. At one point it says:
"With the given description, this is not an issue at all:
In Tools/Options/Appearence, you configure the color to be used for the help lines, when the table cells don't have a border."
Checking Table > Table Boundaries and specifying, say, in Options > OpenOffice.org > Appearance > Table Boundaries: Gray helps if the table has no boundaries, but still what I would like to have is the table cells to have border: the automatic color, so it will look white on the screen and black on paper. The guy does not consider this argument, and it is a significant issue for me.
