Greetings, all.
We have some fairly long Word files that are just big tables (six columns, several hundred pages, between three and ten rows per page, on average, landscape).
In one section of this document (about 100 pages), on printouts of about a fifth of the pages, the bottom line of text in the bottom row is half obscured (the bottom half, of course). It looks like there's a white, borderless box over the bottom half of the bottom line, but the bottom rule of the table is not obscured, and the vertical lines between columns aren't obscured. Everything looks fine on the screen.
The page footers would be an obvious suspect, especially because it doesn't happen at all in some sections. But we've poked into that pretty hard without finding anything out of order.
Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone know how to fix it? Isn't Word 2000 fun?
Thanks -- b.r.t.

Oh yeah, Word 2000 is fun! Here's my suggestion: if formatting of borders and shadings doesn't help, simply try using the style brush to apply the style of the cells from the page printed out correctly to those cells which cause problems. It may help, though, of course, the reason will remain unclear...

I have seen this happen in footers and the only fix was to put a hard return at the end of the line in question.Now for the document I guess this would also fix the problem,the difference being in the footer I only had to do it once.I would also check the top and bottom margins for that section make then a little smaller and see if that fixes the problem
