This article was previously published under Q122506 SYMPTOMS
When you apply a box border to two or more paragraphs where the first
paragraph has a left and right indent and the second paragraph has no
indent, the top border over the second paragraph is not displayed or
printed correctly. The indented paragraph has a box border around it.
Multiple paragraphs with the same indentation do not exhibit this behavior.
WORKAROUND
Apply a border between the two paragraphs to complete the incomplete top
border and remove the bottom border from the indented paragraph to prevent
a double border. To do this, follow these steps:
- Select the paragraph with the incomplete border.
- On the Format menu, click Borders And Shading.
- In the Border box, apply a border between the sample paragraphs.
- Click OK.
- Select the indented paragraph.
- On the Format menu, click Borders And Shading.
- Remove the bottom border by clicking the bottom border of the sample
paragraphs in the Border box.
- Click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of
Microsoft Word for Windows listed above. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
