I posted this a couple of weeks ago, and got only one response, which did not resolve the problem. Anybody else with an idea?
_______________________
I have a multi-page table (about 30 pgs) in which I MUST track changes. The table was originally set for single lines everywhere (outside and between all columns and rows). I have deleted some rows, and in those places the bottom row on a page prints with no bottom line.
These places come where one or more rows have been deleted. If I select the row and look at Format - Borders and Shading, it shows that there is supposed to be a bottom line on the row, but the line won't print. If I select the row and a few subsequent rows, Borders and Shading also indicates that lines should be showing. If I show deleted text as strikeout and then attempt to re-format the lines, the missing bottom lines will appear and print when deleted text is showing, but they disappear again as soon as I hide the deleted text.
If I insert a row below the one that is missing a line, the line will appear and print, but that often leaves a blank row at the top of the following page.
I can't accept all changes, because I am required to issue this document with changes tracked for revision control. Any suggestions on how to get ALL my lines to print?
I'm running Office 2003 on Windows XP Professional.
Thanks,
Fred

Make a copy, accept the changes in it, and print that.

I wish I could accept the changes, but I cannot. I am required to publish this document with changes tracked.

Then resign yourself to the fact that lines do not print properly until after changes are accepted, and circulate your interim document.
Or send 'round _both_ versions.

I guess I'll just have to draw graphic lines in the document, because (a) the document will be published with changes tracked, and (b) even if I can "resign myself" to the fact that the lines won't print correctly, my manager will never resign herself to that fact. The lines must appear perfectly, and the changes must remain tracked.
I hate it when Word won't do what I need it to. (And that hate raises its ugly head far too often.)
