Word 5.00: Shading Extends Outside of Border Box Paragraph

5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Certain top margin values (for example, .35 inches or .37 inches) will cause paragraphs formatted for border box and paragraph shading to print with part of the shading character outside of the border box.

This problem is due to a rounding inconsistency in Word’s print engine. Changing the top margin setting for the division (choose Format, and select Division Margins) to a number with an even value in the hundreds location should correct the problem. For example, changing the top margin from .35 to .36 should print paragraph shading entirely within a border box.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 5.00. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.50.
