Hi all,

I have a htm file that uses css. When I preview the file in IE, it looks
good. Then I try to insert the same file into Word (2003) and it doesn't
look that good. For example, there are some red lines around borders and
bottom border lines of each table cell are not straight (a couple of pixels
up or down).

Is this a problem with Word??

Thanks,
Ivan

G'day "Ivan Debono" <ivanmdeb@hotmail.com>,

Print layout via RTF/Word and web layout via HTML are two completely
different sticks. This is not a problem with word, rather it is how
the html page is constructed using tables.

I think the simplest approach is to decide what format you want your table
to have, and apply that after it is inserted in the document.

What do you mean 'apply after inserting'?

The html table is linked to a css. Isn't that enough?

Not after the table is inserted into a Word document. Therefore you have to
decide how you want it formatted in the Word document and apply formattiung
accordingly.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that Word is an HTML editor. It isn't. It
is a word-processor with an HTML import/export capability.
