SYMPTOMS
If you create a Web page (HTML) document that contains a frame border that is less than 4 points in width and the Frame is resizable in browser option is selected, you cannot resize the border in Microsoft Internet Explorer.



CAUSE
Word represents the borders in point sizes by default. If the border width is less than 4 points, Word sets FRAMESPACING equal to zero (0); for example, FRAMESPACING = 0.

Internet Explorer cannot make frames resizable when the FRAMESPACING is equal to zero.

NOTE: The border is resizable in Netscape Navigator.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior and be able to resize frame borders in Internet Explorer, change the frame border property to a width of 4 points or greater.

To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the document containing the frame border you want to resize.
 * 2) Right-click the frame border, and then click Frame Properties.
 * 3) In the Width of border box, type or select 4 pt or a larger number.
 * 4) Click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
