PPT2000: Pattern Shows Through Double Line Style Border (212297)

WORKAROUND

There is no way to prevent this problem from occurring. To prevent the pattern of an object fill from showing between the lines of a double-line style border, follow these steps:

1. Draw a shape (rectangle, square, or circle) and fill it with the pattern fill you want. Set the line style for the Border to No Line.
2. Draw a second object on top of the first object. It should be of the same shape, only slightly larger.
3. Format the second object as unfilled and select the double-line style border you want.

The pattern-filled object should show through the unfilled, framed object. If the two are positioned correctly, they should look like a single framed, filled object. You can even select both of them and use the Group option on the Draw menu to turn them into a single object. If you use this workaround, the pattern will not show through between the lines of the double-line style border.
