WordArt: Hairline Borders Appear Clipped

• Microsoft WordArt for Windows 95, version 3.0
• Microsoft WordArt, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

If you format a WordArt object so that the letters have a hairline border, portions of those borders may appear to be missing when you exit WordArt. However, the border will be printed correctly.

CAUSE

When you add a border to a WordArt letter, WordArt makes the on-screen representation of the object a little larger. If you are using a hairline border, WordArt doesn't enlarge the object noticeably. Because hairlines are actually narrower than what you can display on your monitor, sometimes some of the pixels disappear into the object boundary on-screen. Note, however, that the object will be printed correctly.

RESOLUTION

If you can zoom in to a view percentage greater than 100-percent, you will see the entire border. If you need the entire border to be displayed at 100 percent or less, choose the next thicker size of border for your WordArt object.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
