SYMPTOMS
In Word 2000, when you open a document that was saved as .rtf (Rich Text Format file), some table borders are dropped.



CAUSE
When the border type for cells in a table is not specified in an RTF file, Word 97 uses the default. So when a table spans pages, the border is displayed between pages by using the default border type. However, Word 2000 does not recognize it as a border, so the border is not displayed between pages when the table spans pages.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Office 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
