Tables created in Word 97 doc are blown off of the page in Word 2002

[jesse]

The coding for tables in HTML can range from elementary,
to quite involved. Whenever one converts a word document
to HTML, one must carefully scrutinize the tagging methods
employed in the conversion (e.g., floating, padding,
etc.). Whatever method is employed, it must be consistent
from document to document. It would be wise to run regular
expressions to ensure table coding is consistent. I do
think there is something about a <float tag for a table in
HTML that is not well received.

The macro doing this conversion, must be carefully
reviewed to ensure that it's validity. Look carefully at
the differences in these tagging processes, and compare
one to another. Unfortunately, there just ins't a
substitute for this. Again, use regular expressions to
your advantage for search and replace.

I'm not sure HTML conversion is the problem. I have been
upgraded from Windows NT and Office 97 to Windows and
Office XP and I find when pasting from Excel doc created
to a Word doc with tables already in them the rows I have
pasted from Excel will size beyond the margins also. This
did not happen when I did the same operation in Office 97.
