SYMPTOMS

A vertical border immediately to the right of a vertical page break in a Works for Windows spreadsheet prints on both sides of the page break.

CAUSE

This occurs with cells that are formatted with a left or outline border and immediately follow either a manual or automatic vertical page break.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 2.x. This problem was corrected in Works version 3.0.

To work around this problem in versions 2.x, insert a column of 0 width to contain the page break, as follows:

  1. Select the column immediately to the right of the page break.
  2. From the Edit menu, choose Insert Row/Column.
  3. From the Format menu, choose Column Width.
  4. Enter 0 in the Width dialog box and choose OK.
  5. From the Edit menu, choose Insert Page Break to reset the break.
If the page break that is causing the problem is automatic, then from the Edit menu, choose Insert Page Break.

Now the border will print correctly.
