This one has me scratching my head. I have a one-page document that has a border. When I open the document, the border has somehow forgotten its formatting, and appears on the first page, and the text on the second! I can go back and reapply the formatting so I can print the form, but when the form is saved, the formatting is lost again. If I e-mail the form to someone else, they also see the separated pages. What am I doing wrong?????

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerSeptember 21, 2001 at 10:57 pm #543632Hi Briana,
How are you applying the border?
Format => Borders and Shading => Page?
File => Page Setup => Layout (tab) => Border (button)?
Or you could be inserting a graphic, in which case it should be in the header or footer and floating behind text. I suspect that you have been using a graphic, but don’t know that.
For more on headers and footers:
See How can I have different headers / footers on different pages? (addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm) for information on how to handle headers and footers.For something more in depth you may want to look at:
Sections, Section Breaks, Headers and Footers (addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm).Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I was using Word’s Insert>Picture>Clip Art, then selecting Borders & Frames. In the past it worked fine, but when I moved to a new machine it started separating the border onto a separate page.
But here’s the really weird part. It’s working again! For no apparent reason that I can fathom, Word decided to stop playing this silly game and leave the border behind the text where it belongs.
I really do appreciate all the suggestions, and I have filed them away for future reference. Again, thank you!Brian
