Publisher 2.0: Nudging or Zooming Makes Some Lines Disappear

= Publisher 2.0: Nudging or Zooming Makes Some Lines Disappear =

Q109591
- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher for Windows, version 2.0 -

SYMPTOMS

=
In Publisher 2.0, if you format a line or border with the Hairline thickness and choose the lightest pattern in the Style box, the line will disappear and reappear if you move the object with the Nudge Objects command or if you change Zoom percentages. Diagonal lines may appear as dashed lines.

Despite the incorrect display, the lines and borders should print accurately to most printers.

CAUSE

=
This behavior seems to be independent of screen resolution. The problem occurs because Publisher uses a bitmap to display the line. The 25-percent shade has bits spaced so far apart that on very thin lines the line is occasionally drawn using a blank part of the bitmap.
