Problem

Symptoms: A customer has a table with three columns. The width of each column is set to 2.88". All of the columns have the same information in them, but the text in the last column wraps in a different place than in the other two. Solutions: This is due to cell line ownership. Each cell in a table only owns its left and top line except for the last column which owns both the left and right lines. When you set the width for a column, WP has to fit the spacing between text and lines, the width of the line style, and the amount of text. Since the last column has ownership of both the left and right line, this made enough difference to cause the text to wrap differently. The customer was able to work around this by setting the width of the last column to 2.9"; this accounted for the extra space the right line was taking (.013"). The customer also could work around the problem by inserting a dummy column at the end of the table and hiding the lines.
