The information in this article applies to:
When you apply a box border to two or more paragraphs where the first paragraph has a left and right indent and the second paragraph has no indent, the top border over the second paragraph is not displayed or printed correctly. The indented paragraph has a box border around it. Multiple paragraphs with the same indentation do not exhibit this behavior.
Apply a border between the two paragraphs to complete the incomplete top border and remove the bottom border from the indented paragraph to prevent a double border. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Select the paragraph with the incomplete border.
2. On the Format menu, click Borders And Shading.
3. In the Border box, apply a border between the sample paragraphs.
4. Click OK.
5. Select the indented paragraph.
6. On the Format menu, click Borders And Shading.
7. Remove the bottom border by clicking the bottom border of the sample
paragraphs in the Border box.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Word for Windows listed above. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
