SYMPTOMS
In Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a, if you apply an inside border to a
paragraph, and then select the paragraph mark following and apply a bottom
border, the formatting applied to the first paragraph disappears. The
border for the first paragraph does not display in print preview and will
not print. This problem also occurs if you apply a left or right border to
the following paragraph.
WORKAROUNDSWord Version 6.xTo apply paragraph formatting to the second paragraph without losing the formatting of the first paragraph, do not select the paragraph mark of the second paragraph. Instead, position the insertion point anywhere in the second paragraph and select the Border button.To place a border between two paragraphs in Word versions 2.x
MORE INFORMATIONWord Versions 6.0 and 6.0aNew paragraph formatting is applied to the subsequent paragraph when adding the bottom border. The initial paragraph no longer has an inside border, and therefore does not display or print an inside border. This is because an inside border can only exist between two or more paragraphs that contain the formatting.To demonstrate, reproduce the problem symptoms described above and then move the insertion point to the first paragraph and press ENTER. After pressing ENTER, an inside border appears between paragraphs 1 and 2, and paragraph 2 does not have a bottom border (because it wasn[ASCII 146]t formatted to have a bottom border). To view the border formatting, place your insertion point in the first paragraph, select Format, select the Borders Tab and view the sample border. Repeat this step for the paragraph with the bottom border applied. Notice that the border formatting is different for these paragraphs. Word Versions 2.xThe Format Border command facilitates placing borders around multiple paragraphs as well as placing border lines between paragraphs.NOTE: Word versions 1.x for Windows do not support placing borders around multiple paragraphs, only single paragraphs. Consequently, a paragraph with a border formatted as Below or Above will always display since it is formatted independently of the paragraphs around it. REFERENCES
