= SUMMARY =

A table will print incorrectly if it contains one or more hidden paragraphs formatted with Space Before or Space After when the Print Hidden Text option is turned off. The space occupied by the hidden text will still print, causing the visible text to print outside the table.

The table will look correct in Page View and Galley View. However, it will look incorrect in Print Preview, and it will print incorrectly.

To work around this problem, select the hidden text, choose Paragraph from the Format menu, type in 0 pt in either the Space Before or Space After box, and click OK.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, using the following text entered in Galley View, formatted as noted: _________________________________________________________________ |This is some text. | | | |This is a Hidden Paragraph with a 12 | | |point space before. | | |This is some normal text. | |________________________________________________________________ |

will print as follows if the Print Hidden Text option is off:

-

|This is some text. | |
This is some normal text. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
