    Thank you, Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP 

     

    If you open with current Word - both documents opens incorrectly. If you open with older word - first one opens as supposed - has fixed table width (in internal table), second document is damaged.

     

    - This one is good (worked with older MS Office): https://creatur-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mantas_simpleitgroup_com/EWA8tkf0uBJFmp4VjDU2muABgNJ0QV4lIBWyZtDb2xlvGg?e=KwmYHy

    - This one is damaged (saved with current MS Office):  https://creatur-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mantas_simpleitgroup_com/EVYOYzhid7RKoE6lfYmSdysBPyDRkJMDAvuxrXgwuMOh5Q?e=SIsAJh

     

    BTW, if you open with online Word, it opens correctly. It just has too little table tools/merge field tools to be able to fix these templates.

      mangru This is how the Kainynas (nuolaidos) {Customer_Organization}.docx opens in Word in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise Version 2409(Build 18025.20160 Click-to-Run) Current Channel

      The other document uses a 9pt font in the first table rather than 11pt and that table contains on extra empty cell on the right.  

       

      I do not think those changes occurred by the document being opened in the later version.
