= SYMPTOMS =

If you have a table in your document that prints on more than one page, the bottom (horizontal) border of the last cell on the page may not print if you are using a QuickDraw printer. (See the “More Information” section below for a list of printers where this problem occurs.) This behavior only occurs on multipage, bordered tables.

= CAUSE =

The bottom border of the multipage table doesn’t print when your document contains a footnote or footer text.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 for the Macintosh. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh.

= WORKAROUND =

To print the bottom border if you have not upgraded to Word version 6.0, remove the footer or footnote.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Apple LaserWriter Select 300 Apple LaserWriter LS Apple StyleWriter Apple StyleWriter II Apple Portable StyleWriter Hewlett-Packard DeskWriter Hewlett-Packard DeskWriter C Hewlett-Packard DeskWriter 550c GCC PLP II GCC WriteMove II
