SYMPTOMS

If you save a Microsoft Word document in Rich Text Format and open that .rtf file in Publisher, double underlining in tables may appear to be missing.

CAUSE

The double underlining is not really missing; it is being cropped out by the cell margin. It may reappear if you view your publication at 150 or 200 percent zoom.

RESOLUTION

You can either stretch the table manually or adjust the cell margins to make the double underlining reappear.

To adjust the cell margins:

Click anywhere in the table to select it.
Click the button in the upper-left corner of the table to select all the cells.
On the Format menu, click Table Cell Properties.
Change the bottom margin to something larger than 0. Click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
