This article was previously published under Q101914 SYMPTOMS
If you format a picture to have a border and then give it an irregular
wrap, the border may become a solid mass that conceals the entire
picture. This is more likely to occur if the border is at least 8
points wide, and if the picture is rather small (approximately 3
inches by 2.5 inches, or smaller).
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
- Scale the picture larger.
-or-
- Use a border narrower than 8 point.
-or-
- Do not use a border on a graphic that is formatted for irregular
wrap.
Borders do not look very good on irregular wrap graphics. The border
follows the edge of the irregular wrap polygon, not the exact outer
edge of the image. To make a border look acceptable on an irregular
wrap graphic, you may need to use a narrow border and also carefully
customize the irregular wrap polygon so that it smoothly follows the
contours of the picture.
