WD97: Space Between Converted WordPerfect Back to Back Tables (198049)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q198049 SYMPTOMS
When you convert a WordPerfect 6.x or 7.x document containing two tables
that are positioned one above the another with no space between them
(called "back to back" in WordPerfect), they appear in Word with a slight
space between the two borders of the tables.
CAUSE
In the conversion process, Word duplicates the WordPerfect "back to back"
feature by inserting a hidden paragraph mark between the two tables.
MORE INFORMATION
In WordPerfect, tables can be inserted back to back (one on top of the
other) and still be separate tables until selected and merged together.
In Word, there is no way to exactly duplicate the look of back to back
tables, except to merge the two tables. Word always shows a small space
between the tables.
When you save the WordPerfect 6.x or 7.x file as WordPerfect 5.1 and then
open it in Word, the hidden paragraph mark between the tables is removed,
and the tables are merged together.
