SYMPTOMS
When you save a Word document as a Web page (on the File menu, click Save as Web Page) with a table that contains at least one cell with a different border or border color than the rest of the table, the entire table is bordered with a single-line border style, and the border color of the entire table is changed to that of the table cell.



WORKAROUND
The functionality of changing the table to a single-line border style is by design in Microsoft Word when you save as a Web page. Only certain table border styles are supported in a Web page (HTML). As a result, incompatible table border styles are converted to single-line borders.

However, the color change for the entire table when you save your Word document as a Web page is a problem in Microsoft Word. To retain a particular border color for a table cell, follow these steps:
 * 1) Save your Word document as a Web page (on the File menu, click Save as Web Page).
 * 2) Select the table cell that you want to be bordered with a different border color.
 * 3) On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading.
 * 4) On the Borders tab, change the Color box to the color that you want the table cell bordered with, and then click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
