The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

-

SYMPTOMS
In Word, some table borders that appear in print preview correctly print incorrectly.

For example, if you format a three-row, two-column table with a top border in cell A1 and a left border in cell A3, the border appears correctly in print preview but prints with an unwanted top border in cell A3.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c for Windows. This problem was corrected in Word version 7.0 for Windows 95.

WORKAROUND
Format the unwanted borders as white:


 * 1) Select the cell that contains the unwanted border.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Borders And Shading.
 * 3) Select the Borders tab.
 * 4) Under Border, select the unwanted border.
 * 5) From the Color list, select white and then choose OK.
