I am using Word 97. I have a table that spans 3 pages. The table has been
defined with a 3/4 pt black grid border applied to the entire table. On the
1st page, the bottom most row of the table above the footer has a printing
problem. The bottom row of the grid border for this row does not print out on
the hard copy. In print preview, it appears, but it will not actually print
out on the hard copy. The 2nd and 3rd pages of the table are fine; all
gridlines are printing. There is adequate space between the bottom row of the
table on the 1st page and the footer, so footer space "interference" does not
seem to be involved.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? My table rows are defined to "auto" for
height size and to not allow breaks across pages. I have also tried removing
all borders and then reapplying them; I tried removing the table after
copying into Excel, then bringing in the table from Excel back into Word and
reformatting; no luck. Further, I tried shifting the table upwards on the
page to see if the trouble followed to what would then become a different
bottom most row. The trouble DID follow; no bottom grid line will print.

I'm out of ideas.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
