= SUMMARY =

In Word version 4.0, paragraph border spacing cannot be occupied by any sort of text or format. However, in Word 5.0, the vertical line tab can occupy the space around the border.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, a border has been placed around a set of paragraphs and a vertical tab leader is running through the box, as follows: ______________ | | | | example | | | | | |__________|__|

In Word version 5.0, if the spacing of the paragraph border is set to 6 points, the spacing around the word “example” increases and the vertical tab leader fills the space between the paragraph border, as in the following example: _______________ | | | | | | | example | | | | | | | | |___________|__|

In Word version 4.0, if the spacing of the paragraph border is set to 6 points, the spacing around the word “example” increases but the vertical tab leader does not fill the space between the vertical tab leader and the paragraph border, as in the following example:

-


 * | | | | | example | | | | | | | | |______________|

While Word automatically adds 2 points of space between the border and the contents of the paragraph, any amount of spacing greater than that cannot be occupied by any sort of text or format. This also applies to tab leaders or a tab underlines.

For more information on paragraph spacing, see page 360 of the version 5.0 “Microsoft Word User’s Guide” or page 275 of the version 4.0 “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual.
