Linda, thanks will send you a copy. Will try your suggestion. In the mean while got around it by placing offending text lines in imbedded tables. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Linda F. Johnson Sent: 02 May 2003 02:00 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Word - text border on bullets One of my favorite things to do is troubleshoot weird borders and lines in Word documents....(I definitely need a life lol)....but it's real hard to do via email....it would be MUCH faster and easier if you sent me the document and let me play with it and send it back to you telling you what I did so you may be able to do it in the future...but of course, if the document is confidential, I understand..but if not, send it to me at linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But, before you do, try this: Hit ctrl+A to select the whole document, then remove all borders..then try replacing the ones just on the text you want...if that doesn't do it, feel free to send it to me.

I've got an MS Word 2000 problem. I'm editing a document where the author has used text borders (Format / Borders and Shading / Borders / Box / Apply to text) for some of the headings. Problem is that in some places it copied this (style) on the last bullets of paragraphs. No matter what I do (reapply; copy / paste; retype) I cannot get rid of it. Any ideas?
