TITLE   :WD97: Paragraph Border Extends Past Text Box Border
PRODUCT :Word 97 for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:97
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbualink97

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word 97 for Windows 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you apply a border to a paragraph that is inside a bordered text box, the
paragraph border may intersect the right border of the text box. Or, the
paragraph border may extend beyond the right and left borders of the text box.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, change the left and right indents of the paragraph
that is inside the text box. This repositions the border to appear inside the
text box.

STATUS
======

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


MORE INFORMATION
================

The amount by which the paragraph border may overlap the text box borders
depends on the point size of the line style you used for the border. For
example, when you use the 1/2-point line style, the paragraph border intersects
the right border of the text box. When you use a heavier point style, for
example the 3-point line style or a shadow paragraph border, the left and right
sides of the paragraph border extend beyond the boundary of the left and right
sides of the text box.
