paste special loses table formatting
I am trying to convert a table to an image using the Word 2007 paste special
feature. It is a simple table - one column, six rows - and all the borders are black and 1/2 pt. I copy the table, then paste special as a Picture (Windows Metafile). The table looks fine until I zoom to 200%, and then it becomes apparant that some (not all) of the cell borders have increased in thickness. This matters because the doc is later converted to pdf, which shows the different thickness in the cell borders. I have tried pasting as an enhanced metafile, but this didn't solve the problem. I have also experimented with different copy/paste settings in the Word options/advanced tab, but this had no effect. I have Word 2002 installed on another machine, and I don't get this behaviour following the same steps. I would be grateful if someone could suggest a workaround for Word 2007... Thanks in advance.. |

paste special loses table formatting
Use Snagit from www.techsmith.com to capture the table and insert it as a
picture. You can get a free 30 day trial, but it is well worth what it costs to be able to use it all the time. -- Hope this helps.
