SYMPTOMS
Vertical changed-line bars are not printed in the correct position after you revise the content of table cells. The position of the bars is correct in page layout view and in print preview.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when all of the following conditions are true:
 * The revision was made in a table.
 * The page that contains the revision is an even page.
 * The document margins are mirrored.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Office 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 Service Pack 2.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) In a new blank Word document, insert a table that spans two pages.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Page Setup and then click the Margins tab.
 * 3) Click to select the Mirror Margins check box. Set the Inside Margin to 2&quot; and the Outside Margin to 1&quot;, and then click OK.
 * 4) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Track Changes tab.
 * 5) Under Changed Lines, set Mark to Left Border, and then click OK.
 * 6) On the Tools menu, click Track Changes and then click Highlight Changes.
 * 7) Click to select the Track changes while editing check box, and then click OK.
 * 8) Type some text in the table cells on page 1 and page 2.
 * 9) Type some text on page 2 after the table.
 * 10) Note that the position of the vertical changed-line bars, for the changes in the table and the change after the table, is correct in print layout view and print preview.
 * 11) Print the document.

Result: The vertical changed-line bars are printed incorrectly on page 2 (the even-numbered page) when the revision marks are in the table. They appear inside the table instead of in the left margin.
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Track Changes tab.
 * 2) Under Changed Lines, set Mark to Outside Border, and then click OK.

Note that the position of the vertical changed-line bars, for the changes in the table and the change after the table, is correct in print layout view and print preview.
 * 1) Print the document.

Result: The vertical changed-line bars for the revisions in the table on page 2 are printed in the inside border. They should be printed in the outside border.
