Newest Office365 word update damages tables
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.
Any news on this issue? Is there any workaround for this problem?
No, it does not - I tried saving, then opened and changed fonts. It damaged everything - I tried resize. table again.
Sorry for misleading - I'll do everything from scratch.
1. This correct document (it opens correctly in old word and online word) - it suppose to look like this: https://creatur-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mantas_simpleitgroup_com/EWA8tkf0uBJFmp4VjDU2muABgNJ0QV4lIBWyZtDb2xlvGg?e=9kR6eV
This is how it looks opened with current word before save:
This is how it looks after save: https://creatur-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mantas_simpleitgroup_com/EVYOYzhid7RKoE6lfYmSdysBPyDRkJMDAvuxrXgwuMOh5Q?e=KdTxzv
So, document is broken in Word already. Even correct document can not be displayed correctly (before it could).

If I generate PDF (using Aspose) with old template (before save): https://creatur-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mantas_simpleitgroup_com/EWA8tkf0uBJFmp4VjDU2muABgNJ0QV4lIBWyZtDb2xlvGg?e=9CGYeD
This is after save (nothing more - I just opened with word and "Save as..."): https://creatur-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/mantas_simpleitgroup_com/EVYOYzhid7RKoE6lfYmSdysBPyDRkJMDAvuxrXgwuMOh5Q?e=clsgIs
