Have you tried to add a top border to the *paragraphs* in the cells,
instead? If the same cell contains multiple paragraphs, Word won't add a
border between them (unless you specifically add such borders). Note
that you have to set the cell margins to zero, in order for the borders
to merge across cells.

Hi,

Another approach to the problem I posted earlier:

I have a table in which only the top row has a border. However, if the
cell
below the top row grows long enough to wrap to the next page, the same
border from the top row appears at the top of that second page. How do
I
prevent this?

(Must have been asked a 'few' times before, but I could not find the
answer)

Thanks,
