Page break and table bottom borders.
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. Jacek. |

It must have if you want a "bottom" border in the situation you described. If I do as you say, than set my table (On Word XP) to have no "inner" border but with a table border, I do have a border at the end of the first page, and one at the top of the second page as well, even though I did not define any top and bottom borders for my rows, as you described. So, basically, I cannot reproduce your problem. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |
