The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q221281 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word 2000, when you insert a right-to-left direction table (using the RTL tag), and you then save the document as a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file, the identification tags are not associated with the correct cells.
For example, the following HTML
<html>
<body>
<TABLE DIR=RTL>
<TR>
<TD ID=A>A</TD>
<TD ID=B>B</TD>
<TD ID=C>C</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</body>
</html>
becomes:
<html>
<body>
<TABLE DIR=LTR>
<TR>
<TD ID=A>C</TD>
<TD ID=B>B</TD>
<TD ID=C>A</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</body>
</html>
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Word does not preserve right-to-left directions in a table.
Right-to-left directions in a table are not round-tripped in Word.
