This article was previously published under Q211980

SYMPTOMS

When you insert a Microsoft Word 2000 table into a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 presentation, some of the gridlines are not displayed.

CAUSE

The table gridlines are formatted with a 1/2 point line style. Word sends the image to PowerPoint at a resolution of 300 dots per inch. This translation results in the lines not being displaying.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, use a thicker line style, such as 1-1/2 points.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
