Descenders Touch Border Below Paragraph Format
'Article ID: Q34883

Creation Date: 26-AUG-1988

Revision Date: 10-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SUMMARY

When a border is placed below a paragraph in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, characters with descenders touch the line.

To correct this problem, modify Paragraph Spacing After to create a buffer between the paragraph underline and the character descenders in the paragraph. From the menu, choose Format, then Paragraph, and set Spacing After to &quot;1 pt&quot; or &quot;2 pt&quot; (without the quotation marks). This setting will create a buffer of space between the end of a paragraph and a border underline, distancing the character descenders from the border underline.
