SYMPTOMS

If you set line spacing before or after a paragraph to greater than zero, any borders around these paragraphs will have gaps in the lines.

WORKAROUND

Insert paragraph marks by pressing your ENTER key to add space before or after your paragraphs.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works for Windows versions 2.0, 2.0a, and 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
