Problem

Symptoms: The customer is creating two tables, one above the other. On the display screen, the vertical lines of the tables are lined up, but in View Document and when printed, the lines are slightly misaligned. To duplicate, create a table with two columns and then create a second table below it with more than two columns. On the second table, use the Ctrl-Right Arrow key to vertically line up the right line of the first column in both tables. They will look lined up on the editing screen but not in View Document or when printed. Solutions: This is working correctly. The Display screen is not an exact representation of what the printed document will look like. The solution to this problem is to specify the exact column width for both tables in the Table, Edit mode. To do this, go into cell A1 of the first table and press Alt-F7 (Table, Edit), and 2 (Format). This will display the exact width of the column on the right side of the screen just below the status line. Then, exit out to the document screen and place the cursor in cell A1 of the second table, and press Alt-F7 (Table, Edit), 2 (Format), 2 (Column), and 1 (Width). Then enter the same width as the first column of the first table. This will allow the lines of the two tables to line up. This feature is working as designed. If a correctly-working feature is generating a large number of calls, work through your team leader who can take the necessary steps to include it on the common call list.
