'Article ID: Q77977

Creation Date: 31-OCT-1991

Revision Date: 09-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.10a, positioning an item inside a bordered paragraph causes the border to display incompletely on the sides touching the positioned item. The border may not print correctly.

In Word for Windows versions 2.0 and 6.0, if you insert a frame inside a bordered paragraph, the border does not appear on the edges touching the frame. The document also prints with the borders missing.
