\title{fix border issues when cell are merged}
\usage{
fix_border_issues(x, part = "all")
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{flextable object}

\item{part}{partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header', 'footer')}
}
\description{
When cells are merged, the rendered borders will be those
of the first cell. If a column is made of three merged cells, the bottom
border that will be seen will be the bottom border of the first cell in the
column. From a user point of view, this is wrong, the bottom should be the one
defined for cell 3. This function modify the border values to avoid that effect.
