This article was previously published under Q177031





SYMPTOMS
When you apply a box border to two or more paragraphs where the first paragraph has a left and right indent and the second paragraph has no indent, the top border over the second paragraph is printed and displayed incorrectly.

The part where the top paragraph border touches the border of the second paragraph is larger and darker than a normal border.



CAUSE
A border has been applied twice to the problem area.



WORKAROUND
Remove the bottom border from the indented paragraph to prevent a double border. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Select the top paragraph.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Borders And Shading.
 * 3) In the Preview box, remove only the bottom border.
 * 4) Click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
