SYMPTOMS
When you print a HTML document that contains a table that encloses another table, the last line of a page may be clipped horizontally. You may notice that only the upper portions of the characters that are part of the last line appear on the printed page. In this case, the lower portions of these characters are clipped and these portions do not appear on the current page of your printed document. Additionally, these clipped portions do not appear on the next page of your printed document. However, lines after the last line on the current page appear on the next page of your printed document.

Note This behavior occurs in all versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, including Service Pack 1 (SP1), SP2, and SP3.



RESOLUTION
To resolve the behavior that is mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article, use either of the following methods:
 * Upgrade the version of Internet Explorer on your computer to version 5.5 or later.
 * In your HTML documents do not enclose one table with another table.

</HTML> </li> Save the text as an HTML file that is named TestHtml.html in the root folder of drive C on your computer.
