Nested Tables Problem When Saved as RTF

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi,

    We have a nested tables problem with WPTools. This happens only in some occasions. The editor content looks fine during Preview and when printed to paper. However, it appears distorted when saved as RTF and opened with Word.

    We are using WPTools version 5.30.1.

    Here is the problem RTF content:

    Code

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,

    Better not use nested tables to create an easy layout such as this one. You can use rowmerge to create exactly the same layout with the benefit of equal column sizes.

    When I load your file in WPT536 and save it Word is able to display it better, BTW.
