You need to look at code used in the other dialogs and describe how
you will reuse it for the Borders&shading dialog. I'm particularly
interested in see how applicants will restructure the code to make
child instances of generic classes. In addition which functions and
methods can be placed into a generic class and reused in the
border&shading, FormatFrame and FormatTable dialogs.
