Inserting bold text into table changes spacing

Post by sunets+ »

Hi there

I have created a table style and set the cell padding to 4 pt all around, which to my knowledge should ensure that the space between the text in and table border in column 1 and column 2 should be the same.
I have inserted a table with a number in column one and a sentence in column two. The moment I bold some of the text in column 2, the spacing of the line (height) in relation to the text in the other column changes and now my number and other text seems to be out of alignment.
How do I correct this and ensure that these elements are always aligned?

Hi,

What you're seeing is caused by Flare's span markings. The output should appear with the proper padding/spacing.

Welcome, BTW.

Happy first post!

Rather than worrying about the XML Editor, what does it look like in your output? WYSIWYG isn't quite true in Flare...
