Issues with headers in MS Word output

Post by brad friesen »

We're using a two column table in our headers. One is left aligned and the other is right aligned. When building print documents, the table columns widths in the header are being resized (see the attached image). PDF output looks fine.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions or workarounds?
Thanks!

I'd try setting the table width to 100% and each column to 50%.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Hello Nita,

I work with Brad,the original poster

Thanks for your suggestion. We already have the table at 100% and both columns at 50%.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

<Frame Flow="header" Anchors="Left,Right,Bottom" Right="-0.01041667in" Bottom="882px" X="0px" Y="-50px" ColumnCount="1" PaddingLeft="0in" PaddingRight="0in" PaddingTop="0in" PaddingBottom="0in" FlowIndex="3" Height="32px" VerticalAlign="bottom" TextAlign="left" Width="6.510417in" DividerWidth="0" BorderTopStyle="solid" BorderTopWidth="0px" BorderBottomStyle="solid" BorderBottomWidth="1px" BorderBottomColor="#a9a9a9">
