This article was previously published under Q63531 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, if you set a vertical line tab outside
a paragraph indent and use paragraph borders, gaps may appear in the
vertical line. This behavior can also be observed in the following
situations:
- When multiple paragraphs have a vertical line tab in the same place.
- When you apply a thick bottom paragraph border in one or more
paragraphs, a space in the vertical line tab occurs where the border, if
extended, would intersect the line.
- When you format a paragraph with a plain, shadow, or custom box,
or a thick or thin line, a space in the vertical line tab occurs
outside the paragraph indent, between the bordered paragraph and the
following paragraph without a border.
- When you click Paragraph on the Format menu, and then select Space
Before Paragraph, a space in the vertical line tab occurs in paragraphs
following the first one.
WORKAROUND
To format a document with a border surrounding the text, you can use a
table with four columns and borders instead. Borders on the outside
of each column and box borders on the second and third columns produce a
document that resembles a document formatted with paragraph borders and
vertical tabs.
