title: SSRS 2005 - Border issue exporting to Microsoft Excel 2003
body: <p>I'm working on a <code>SSRS report</code> which is to be exported in <code>PDF</code> as well as <code>Excel 2003</code> formats.</p>
  
  <p>In the report, I have a <code>rectangle</code> having several <code>tables</code> &amp; <code>text boxes</code> with <code>border style</code> of all but rectangle marked as <code>None</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When I preview the report &amp; export as PDF, the borders appear only around the rectangle &amp; all the other elements within are borderless, but when I export it as Excel format, borders are mysteriously appearing around various text boxes out of nowhere.</p>
  
  <p>I'm clueless about why's it happening at all. Please help &amp; suggest.
