Not sure why this does this. Same border settings for both Item & Description, yet the block does not merge. There is clearly overlap, so they should merge. Other styles in this document merge fine. Just this particular one does not. Styles are based on Item & Desc. If I change the Desc style to be based on Item / HL, it will work, but then it doesn't update properly should I change the base Desc style.
Thoughts?

You need to RESET applied ObjectStyle...
Either "clear overrides" or apply a different one - then set number of TextColumns again.

Woohoo. Nice work Robert. Much appreciated. Something squirrely in the Object Styles was throwing it, eh. I will have to keep an eye on it. Thank you for your help.

Hi @davecourtemanche , Looks like you have the text frame selected, do the Paragraph Border setting act and look the same if you select the text:
specs the same if I select the text of the 2 different para styles
Hi Dave:
The command is Merge Consecutive Borders and Shading with the same settings. We're all looking at your border settings and they seem to be the same. Did you check your shading settings? Do the settings for both match too?

shade settings for both items are off.

Can't check it right now - but maybe there is a bug - and even if it's OFF - values are still being compared...
I think that's the culprit - "extra" properties in the TextFrame's definition:
First line - contents from the "fixed" file - Second line - contents from the original file.
And you can delete your shared file.
