= SUMMARY =

If you save a border-boxed paragraph in Word version 5.50 as Text Only w/ Breaks (ALT, F, A), the border is not saved, but Word leaves space around the paragraph for the box. This exclusion is by design. In Word version 5.00, Transfer Save Text-only-with-line-breaks produces the same results.

Saving in this format requires Word to lay out the document as it saves it. As a result, room for the box lines is taken into account. The box characters are not saved in the document because they are line characters, not text characters.
