--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.x, 6.x
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
Hairline line style borders created in Word for the Macintosh versions 5.x
or 6.x are converted to 3/4-point line style for display and printing in 
Word 6.x and later.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Later versions of Microsoft Word do not support the hairline border line
style. 
 
NOTE: Word 6.0 and 6.0.1 for the Macintosh display hairline borders with
the same line thickness as 3/4 point; however, printers capable of 300
dots
per inch (dpi) or higher print hairline borders correctly.
 
If you open and save a Word 6.x for the Macintosh document containing 
hairline borders in Word for Windows, and subsequently open the document
in
Word 6.x for the Macintosh, the hairline border format is retained.
