SYMPTOMS
If you publish a worksheet as an interactive Web page and view it in a browser, medium weight borders that use the dashed or dashed-dot line style may appear as solid lines instead.



CAUSE
The Microsoft Office Spreadsheet Component does not support publishing the thicker dashed or dashed-dot borders, and converts them to solid borders.



MORE INFORMATION
Thin borders that use the dashed or dashed-dot line style appear as expected when published as an interactive Web page.

The following additional differences in borders occur when you publish a worksheet as an interactive Web page:


 * The thinnest border, which looks like dots in a spreadsheet, becomes a thin solid line.


 * The double line border becomes a single thick line, which is thicker than the normal thick border.
