4. Get the left and right borders using Left and Right properties of the BorderCollection class respectively.

5. Get the border style using LineStyle property of the Border class.

6. Get the border color using Color property of the Border class.

7. Display the left and right border style and color on the console.

   //Get borders
   LineStyle styleLeft = 
       doc.Body.Sections.First.GetRange().Paragraphs.Last.Format.Borders.Left.LineStyle;
   LineStyle styleRight = 
       doc.Body.Sections.First.GetRange().Paragraphs.Last.Format.Borders.Right.LineStyle;
   Color colorLeft = 
       doc.Body.Sections.First.GetRange().Paragraphs.Last.Format.Borders.Left.Color.RGB;
   Color colorRight = 
       doc.Body.Sections.First.GetRange().Paragraphs.Last.Format.Borders.Right.Color.RGB;
