SYMPTOMS
When you apply a border to a paragraph that is inside a bordered text box, the paragraph border may intersect the right border of the text box. Or, the paragraph border may extend beyond the right and left borders of the text box.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the left and right indents of the paragraph that is inside the text box. This repositions the border to appear inside the text box.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
The amount by which the paragraph border may overlap the text box borders depends on the point size of the line style you used for the border. For example, when you use the 1/2-point line style, the paragraph border intersects the right border of the text box. When you use a heavier point style, for example the 3-point line style or a shadow paragraph border, the left and right sides of the paragraph border extend beyond the boundary of the left and right sides of the text box.
