Hi,

I am not sure if this is a known issue, but it seems it is not considered
an issue by Microsoft because they would fix it already. If this is a
feature then it is a very annoying one.
What happens is that if you have a table with a header that repeats across
pages and the body of a table that contains cells that do not have top and
bottom borders than when the page break happens to be inserted in the
middle of the page, the table on the first page does not have the bottom
border. Such table looks at least strange. I wonder if there is any work
around to this problem?

If you would like reproduce the problem I am talking about you would have
to construct a table with lets say five rows where first two are header
rows and the fourth row does is constructed without top and bottom border.
Then you would have to duplicate the fourth row a few times. What you get
is a table with invisible body borders. Now insert enough empty lines in
front of the table to force a page break. You would see that the table on
the first page does not have a bottom border.

The Word97 worked OK. I am not sure when it stopped working. Both XP and
2003 versions are broken.
