SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Word table into a PowerPoint presentation, some of
the gridlines do not display.
CAUSE
The table gridlines are formatted with a 1/2 point line style. Word
sends the image to PowerPoint at a resolution of 300 dots per inch.
This translation results in the lines not displaying.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a thicker line style, such as 1-1/2
points.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for
Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
