Some things to try:
If you have the borders defined on one side and not the other (in other
words, the cell on the left has a right border defined) then try
setting the left border for the cell on the right.
If you have both borders defined as described above, try turning off
one or the other.
Yes, I realize those two things are contradictory, but I've personally
had times when one worked and not the other for whatever magical
reason.
I've also had cases where setting the background color to "white"
instead of "transparent" helped - and vice versa. I've had cases where
alternating the background color of rows causes the problem.
Basically, just tinker with the settings and hope for the best.having the same problems - anyone find any solutions? Can someone from
Msoft confirm there are issues with this functionaility?
