The information in this article applies to:
Paragraph borders appear cut off when applied to a paragraph that begins at the bottom of a page and continues at the top of the next page. The borders are cut off when viewing the document in page layout or print preview and when printing the document.
By design, borders are a paragraph property that flows with the paragraph. When a paragraph formatted with a box border continues onto the second page, the top border appears over the first line of the paragraph at the bottom of the first page, and the bottom border appears at the end of the paragraph on the subsequent page.
Method 1: Move the bordered paragraph so that it fits on one page:
a. Position the insertion point anywhere in the paragraph.
b. From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
c. Word 97: Select the Line and Page Breaks tab. Under
Pagination, select Keep Lines Together. Click OK.
Word 6.0-7.0: Select the Text Flow tab. Under Pagination,
select Keep Lines Together. Click OK.
Word 2.0: Under Pagination, select Keep Lines Together. Click
OK.
Method 2: Insert a paragraph mark just before the page breaks, then format
each paragraph with a box border.
Method 3: Word 6.0, 7.0, 97: Place the text in a table cell formatted to
break across pages. Place the border around the table cell.
