"Space" setting does not remain

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hello,

    In the dialog Borders and Shading there is a setting for "Space". It works fine as long as I remain inside the document. But when I save the document and open it again, the setting is gone and the resulting table is not acceptable. If I use a thick border line (for example, 3 pt), the lower part of a "g" or a "q" is not visible. In particular, this happens to the last line of a table. Can this be fixed in one way or another?

    Another thing: The Paragraph Format dialog does not come up properly (TWPParagraphPropDlg.Execute) in version 5-35. It seems there are some preparation in the code for version 6, which cause problems in version 5.

    Hello Julian,

    Thank you for the quick correction! The "Space" setting now remains with the document. I have just a few details left, before the tables look perfect :)

    This is a simplified example:
    I create a table with the standard menu command "Table, Insert, Table". In the "Format Border" dialog I set Width to 3 pt and Space to 2 pt. The editor is in Full Layout and wpDontUseBorderPadding is set to True. This is how the table looks during editing: http://www.moregroup.de/files/textedit.jpg

    Now I close the RTF file and open it again. This is what comes up: http://www.moregroup.de/files/textopen.jpg The last line is cut at the bottom, so you cannot see the difference between "g" and "q". I also notice that the all cells are a bit smaller.

    After this, I make a long table with the same settings, spanning over several pages. This is one of the page breaks: http://www.moregroup.de/files/textpage.jpg The border cuts right through the text, so the reader may think "Well, that's not part of the contract!"

    These are the RTF files:

    Look forward to hearing from you!

    These effects are visible in Full Layout Mode or in printouts. If necessary, I can prepare a sample application. I have made two observations:

    - If I add a 3 pt border to a table in Microsoft Word, the height of the table increases. Instead, in wpTools the height of the table (including the border) remains the same. As a consequence, there is less space available for the text, especially in the last line.

    - When a table has a page break, the the last line is sometimes a little higher, independent of the border setting. When the horizontal thick border comes, it is not "synchronized" with the cells and cuts right through the text.

    I have a customer who requires a special table layout for their contracts (light gray shaded cells, with a 3 pt white border). If the white border appears over the text, that line of the price list is not readable and I have a problem... I use wpReporter and have not found any workaround.
