Unhappy borders disappear from merged cells when pasting from excel

I am trying to paste an excel chart into my word document and I'd like to use the "link to excel and keep source formatting" option. All is well except for some bizarre reason on the rows in which the entire row is merged into one cell, the right-hand border of the row does not show up in the Word document. For example, if Row 1 has no merged cells so that A1 and B1 are separate cells with separate borders, everything is fine; but if Row 2 is merged so that A2 and B2 are merged, the right-hand border doesn't paste. I have tried messing around -- changing the thickness of the borders, adding a third column with no borders at all, etc., and nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks!
