Paragraph Borders Are Erratic If Used with a Framed Object
'Article ID: Q79264

Creation Date: 17-DEC-1991

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


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

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you place a framed object inside a paragraph or group of paragraphs formatted with a border, that border behaves erratically. The following problems may occur:


 * 1) If the framed object is near the edge of the border, portions of the border disappear.
 * 2) If you insert the framed object into a group of paragraphs that have a common border, the border becomes fragmented into pieces associated with individual lines of text. You must reset the borders to surround individual paragraphs.
 * 3) If you insert the framed object into a group of paragraphs without a common border and then insert a common border around the group of paragraphs, the border becomes fragmented. In addition, Word for Windows places a border around the object itself. If you attempt to remove this border by choosing Border from the Format menu, the dialog box shows that there is no border; however, the borders do print correctly.
 * 4) The border arrangements vary between page layout and print preview modes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Word for Windows listed above. We are researching this problem, and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem


 * 1) Open a new document.
 * 2) Type several lines of text.
 * 3) Select the text. From the Format menu, choose Border and Shading.
 * 4) Select a border, and choose the OK button.
 * 5) Position the insertion point within the text.
 * 6) From the Insert menu, choose Picture.
 * 7) Select a picture file, and choose the OK button. The picture should now be within the paragraph.
 * 8) Select the picture. From the Insert menu, choose Frame.

The border behaves as described in the first problem above. Modify the text as necessary to duplicate the other problems.
