SYMPTOMS
A table that spans two pages shows a border along the bottom of the row at the end of the first page but does not show a border along the top of the cell that starts the second page.



CAUSE
An automatic page break separates two rows, and the table is formatted so that the cells have a bottom border (rather than with inside borders between rows). This behavior is by design.



WORKAROUND
To correct the problem, apply a different type of border:
 * 1) Display the Border toolbar by clicking Toolbars on the View menu, and selecting Borders. Click OK.
 * 2) In the table, select both cells (the cell at the bottom of the page and the cell at the top of the next page).
 * 3) On the Border toolbar, click the Inside Border button. You may need to click it twice. A line appears on each cell.
