Cell border stroke width is STUCK.

Question

Sometimes, after selecting a range of cells and attempting to put a thick border around the whole set, when change the stroke width from the default of .25 (after selecting "Thick" [the heavy line] for type of stroke), it will not change -- it is stuck on .25, no matter what I do. I pull down to, say, 1.5 and it just pops back to .25.
This is a seemingly random problem -- often I have no problem changing the stoke width and creating exactly the sort of border I want.
Anyone got an idea of what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Unknown behavior and, as it behave on a random basis it will be difficult to identify it.
Assuming that something may be corrupted in the document, may you apply this scheme :
save as Numbers '08 document
Close the original document
From Numbers '09, open the Numbers '08 version.
If some features were dropped( functions unavailable in Numbers '08), restore them.
With a bit of luck, the oddity will be gone.
A more drastic cleaning would rely upon an export as Excel or as CSV.
Of course, you may send the file to my mailbox but there is no guarantee that the problem surface here.
