The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you have a table in your document that prints on more than one page, the
bottom (horizontal) border of the last cell on the page may not print if
you are using a QuickDraw printer. (See the "More Information" section
below for a list of printers where this problem occurs.) This behavior only
occurs on multipage, bordered tables.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The bottom border of the multipage table doesn't print when your document
contains a footnote or footer text.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 4.0, 5.0, and
5.1 for the Macintosh. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for
the Macintosh.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To print the bottom border if you have not upgraded to Word version 6.0,
remove the footer or footnote.
