Borders: Word's dash patterns, and dashSmallGap as its own style
Borders: Word's dash patterns, and dashSmallGap as its own style Paragraph, cell and table borders now use the dash patterns Word draws, measured from Word itself, and `dashSmallGap` gets its own style instead of being read (and saved) as `dashed`. ## Measurements A test document with bottom borders in each style at `w:sz` 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18 and 24 (paragraph borders) and 4, 8, 12 (table borders), exported to PDF by Word for Mac (Quartz PDFContext, macOS 27.2). Word draws every border as alternating filled rectan [wordcraft-border-test-word-export.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/34011626/wordcraft-border-test-word-export.pdf) [wordcraft-bor

The windows are titled `Name:1` and `Name:2` and each keeps its own caret, scroll position, zoom and view; edits and Undo are the document's and show in both. Closing one of them asks nothing; the last one asks about unsaved changes, and quitting asks once per document. - 2026-10-22: One native window per open document on the desktop. File › New and Open (from the ribbon, File, shortcuts, the file manager, the command line or the control channel) open the document in a window of its own, focused and placed a step below and right of the last one; opening a file replaces a blank document nobody has used in its own window, and a file that is already open brings its window to the front. Each window keeps its own ribbon tab, File page, dialogs, panes, scroll position and composition. View › Window › Switch Windows lists the windows and brings the chosen one forward. File › Close and a window's close button close that window, asking about unsaved changes first; the last window stays open with no document. Quitting asks about each document with unsaved changes in its own window, and Cancel keeps everything open. The control channel's input and screenshots go to the window focused last. The web app keeps one window. - 2026-10-22: Recovery covers every open document. Each dirty document keeps its own copy, written on the same ten-second cadence whether it is shown or not; closing a document without saving deletes its copy, as saving does, and a clean exit deletes the copies of every document saved or closed since its last copy. File › Recover lists only copies no open document keeps, and Restore opens a copy as another document (or in place of an untouched blank one), so it never replaces work.
