--- Comment #44 from Yousuf Philips (jay) <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---
We had similar discussions of what should be the default border line width for
tables in bug 99027.

So if we check out the competition, all of them (Excel, WPS/Kingsoft, Google
Sheets, Gnumeric, Calligra Sheets, Quattro Pro) provide style presets that
combine both the border line style and width. Calligra Sheets is the only one
that allows a user to create a custom style and width, but limits the width to
being only whole numbers.

That is only natural because of format differences. When excel exports its
default border to ods, Calc opens it up at 0.05 and Calligra opens it at 1.

> Then i prefer we change the default to 0,75.

I would agree with this to provide maximum compatibility.

Yes someone with a printer should print out a sheet with various border widths
and give a recommendation of what they think should be default. I'd recommend
testing in 0.25 increments.
