SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, if you apply double borders around a cell with an orientation that is set to a value other than 0 (zero), 90, or -90 degrees, the borders may not meet at the corners of the cell.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not apply double borders around cells that are angled. If you apply any other kind of border, such as a single or dashed border, the problem does not occur.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
