= SUMMARY =

In versions 4.0 and 5.0 of Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, when you apply top and bottom borders to successive paragraphs, they may not turn out as you expected.

When successive paragraphs contain exactly the same formatting, Word treats these paragraphs as a group. If you apply top and bottom borders to any of these paragraphs, Word places the borders at the top of the first paragraph and the bottom of the last paragraph (Word assumes that you want the border at the top and bottom of the entire group, not just the paragraph you selected).

To create horizontal lines between all paragraphs in a group, use the between border option.

Note: When a Word 3.0 document where borders are used as underlines is opened in Word 4.0 or 5.0, both the middle and lower borders are selected in the Borders dialog box.
