macroed table - borders missing

[Gavin Grear]

Hi
I wrote a macro to create a table in a header in Word 97. Having upgraded to
2003, the borders all disappear when the document is printed.

The macro text is below (a lot of the text is irrelevant, but didn't want to
confuse by editing out bits). Does anyone have any suggestions for getting
the borders back?

Thanks

May I ask why you're using a macro instead of just creating a template that
already has the table in the header?

 

[Gavin Grear]

Hi Suzanne
The documents are being opened through a document control software package,
which contains 1000+ documents. The information which populates the header
is called by the macro from the software. At the time of commissioning, we
were advised to use a macro to create the header, that way we could more
easily control any changes to the format. Whether that's correct or not,
we're stuck with it, as all the documents are linked to the macro, and can
only be changed by a rather convoluted process through the software. I'm
afraid I'm just after a quick fix this time round!
Thanks

Point taken, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Irony is the code was provided
by one of the MS newsgroup folk, so there you go!

Can anyone provide the lines of code so the borders appear, to at least help
us inthe short term - these documents are being printed out daily, so I
really do need the quick fix at the moment!

Thanks

Hi Jezebel
Making decisions from an ignorant point of view is always going to be dodgy
I guess! )
The code worked fine, many thanks.
For when we look to moving over to templates - is this the right newsgroup?
Cheers
