The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, inserting a frame into a paragraph with a
border causes the border information to be distorted.
Inserting a frame around the first character is a convenient method to
insert a dropped capital letter; however, this method does not work if
the paragraph has a formatted border.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Type at least three lines of text in a paragraph.
- Select the paragraph.
- From the Format menu, choose Border, select any style, and place
the border around the paragraph. Choose the OK button. (In version
6.0 from the Format menu choose Borders and Shading select the
Borders Tab and Box under Presets, select any style line. Choose the
OK button).
- Select the first character of the paragraph.
- From the Insert menu, choose Frame.
The upper left-hand corner of the border covers the top of the framed
character. This border moves with the framed character.
For more information on dropped capital letters, refer to the section
titled "Setting Up a Dropped Capital Letter" in the "Microsoft Word
For Windows User's Guide," pages 416-417.
