WD97: Fill Color Extends Through Border Formatting

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you apply a fill color or pattern to a text box that has a double or triple-border line style, the fill extends to the outside border of the text box. In contrast, when you apply a fill to a table or paragraph bounded by the same type of border, the fill does not extend to the outside border.

WORKAROUND

To work around this, use one of the following methods:

Method 1:

Create three text boxes and layer one on top of the other. Add the fill to the text box that appears in front of the other two boxes.

Method 2:

Use a table rather than a text box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows.
