If the first paragraph on any page after the first page in a document is formatted with line Spacing Before and a Border Above, the border will not display in Page View.
This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
More Information:
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Load Word for Windows and bring up a new document.
- Type about one half of a line of text and press ENTER.
- Press F4 to repeat this until you have more than one page of text.
- Position the cursor at the top of page 2.
- From the Format menu, choose Paragraph and set Spacing Before to 0.5li.
- Select Border Above and choose OK.
- From the View menu, choose Page.
Result: The line above the paragraph on the second page is not displayed. The border can be viewed in Print Preview and also in Galley View. If the Spacing Before is set back to 0li, then the border will show up in Page View as well. This behavior does not occur on the first page of the document, only on subsequent pages.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.0 1.1 and 1.1a. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows version 2.0.

Horizontal: Center Vertical: Inline Relative To: Margin Relative To: Margin
Paragraph Width: Auto
Note: Using the Format Position command to position the table will allow text to wrap around the table depending upon the width of the table.
