I've created an rtf document using jfor. The tables in the document look
perfect when using Word 2000 on Windows 2000. Some of the table columns are
too narrow when I look at the same document using Word 2002 on XP.

The XSL:FO used to the tables that appeared correctly on 2002 and those that
appeared incorrectly are the same. I was able to get an improved column width
by putting an empty table before the incorrectly appearing table in xsl:fo.

Is there anything I can do either in word or in xsl:fo that could fix my
problem.

Hi Vhikida,

In Word, you could try to set the compatibility options (Toos > Options >
Compatibility) to the older version.

You could also check the RTF code whether the tables are set to AutoFit
(\trautofit1).
I think AutoFit had a bug (producing very wide tables) that was fixed;
perhaps that might explain the differences.

Regards,
Klaus
