SYMPTOMS

When you print a Microsoft Works 2000 Spreadsheet document that contains cells with borders to a black and white (monochrome) printer, some of the borders may not be printed as expected.

For example, borders with a color setting of White may be printed as black lines, and borders with a setting of Light Gray may be printed as white lines (and therefore be invisible).

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the printer driver for your printer is outdated.
