SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Word table into a PowerPoint presentation, some of the gridlines do not display.



CAUSE
The table gridlines are formatted with a 1/2 point line style. Word sends the image to PowerPoint at a resolution of 300 dots per inch. This translation results in the lines not displaying.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a thicker line style, such as 1-1/2 points.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
