SYMPTOMS
When you apply a combination of a border and a fill to any object in Microsoft Publisher, a thin line may be displayed or printed around the outside of the object. This &quot;leaking&quot; is more noticeable when you use the Commercial Printing Tools in Publisher.



CAUSE
The &quot;leaking&quot; behavior is caused by the interaction of Publisher with the Windows system component GDI+.



WORKAROUND
To minimize this behavior, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click the AutoShape or picture to select it.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click AutoShape or Picture.
 * 3) In the Format AutoShape or Format Picture dialog box, click the Colors and Lines tab.
 * 4) Clear the Draw border inside frame check box.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
