-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you apply a fill color or pattern to a text box that has a double or
triple-border line style, the fill extends to the outside border of the text
box. In contrast, when you apply a fill to a table or paragraph bounded by the
same type of border, the fill does not extend to the outside border.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this, use one of the following methods:
Method 1:
Create three text boxes and layer one on top of the other. Add the fill to the
text box that appears in front of the other two boxes.
Method 2:
Use a table rather than a text box.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows.
