SYMPTOMS
After you insert a Microsoft Word table and place a border around it, a portion of the border may appear to be cut off when you view it in PowerPoint.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, resize the table in Word:
 * 1) In PowerPoint, double-click the table to place it in editing mode. A hash marked border with eight handles appears around the table.
 * 2) Click and drag the center handle on the right side to widen the table area slightly.
 * 3) On the Table menu, click Select Table.
 * 4) On the Table menu, click Cell Height And Width.
 * 5) Click the Row tab. Under Alignment, click Center.
 * 6) Return to the PowerPoint Slide view by clicking anywhere in the slide background outside the table area. The table now has a little extra area on each side, and the borders should show.
 * 7) Reposition the table on your slide if necessary.

NOTE: Steps 3-5 are not always essential, but following them ensures success.



MORE INFORMATION
The border color that appeared in Word may be changed when you return to PowerPoint.
