Page Breaks Wrong Location with Boxed, Side-by-Side Paragraphs

= SUMMARY =

When you attempt to produce a 10 x 3 matrix of boxed, side-by-side paragraphs in Word, the 28th paragraph (8th paragraph of the right column) starts to print correctly, but then breaks and finishes printing outside of the matrix.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word Version 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.00.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This problem can be reproduced by creating a document in the following manner:


 * 1) Create 10 consecutive left-aligned, boxed, side-by-side paragraphs.
 * 2) Create 10 consecutive centered, boxed, side-by-side paragraphs.
 * 3) Create 10 consecutive right-aligned, boxed, side-by-side paragraphs.

This problem appears to be a result of program design and can be duplicated with any printer driver. The problem appears only with paragraphs that have been formatted using the Format Border command. Currently, there is no workaround for this problem, other than creating a boxed-paragraph matrix no larger than 9 x 3 (27 paragraphs total).
