Table with merged cells not spanning properly

[Cheryl B]

I have a complex table with merged cells.

I am attaching the htm file and also the pdf. In the pdf file, on the bottom table, note that there are some missing borders. It seems like, when I merged the three cells into one ("Cell F5/F6/F7") Flare only recognizes part of the merge. Also, note that the top table has the same merges but does not show the missing border. It's only when I add more text into the bottom left cell that the borders disappear.

This seems like a Flare bug. Is this a known problem? What's the workaround?

Thanks,

Cheryl B


(Darn. This forum is not allowing me to attach an htm file or a pdf. Fine. I'll convert the htm into a txt file and attach it and I will take a screenshot of the pdf.)

SInce no-one else has answered, i thought I'd take a look.

I note you have used a table stylesheet, but also have manual styling in your topic for the cells that are going wrong. The manual styling is this bit

Code: Select all

style="border-left: solid 1px;border-left-color: #000000;"

in this row

Code: Select all

<tr class="Body-Normal">
                    <td class="BodyE-Normal-Normal" rowspan="2" style="border-left: solid 1px;border-left-color: #000000;">Cell G6 & G7<br /><br /><br />Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

                    <td class="BodyE-Normal-Normal">Cell H6</td>
                    <td class="BodyD-Normal-Normal">Cell I6</td>
                </tr>

You also have the same in some of the other merged cells, but I suspect you've not got enough text in those cells to upset Flare. I would try removing that, and seeing if the problem goes away. You can get unpredictable results if you try to use table stylesheets and styling in the topic too.
