Extraneous borders might appear in your ODS output when you use certain styles with ODS TAGSETS.RTF. Horizontal lines could appear in the output, or existing rules or borders might be displayed incorrectly.

The sample code on the Full Code tab generates an RTF file that illustrates the problem. An example of the RTF file containing the extraneous borders can be opened from the Results tab. You can see the first appearance of the extraneous horizontal border on page 3 of the RTF file.

To circumvent the problem, include the UNIFORM option in the ODS TAGSETS.RTF statement. Here is an example:

If the problematic borders exist due to the application of the style attributes FRAME=HSIDES RULES=GROUPS, the circumvention does not work and the partial border lines still appear.
