In a list I hit SHIFT+ENTER and inserted a table with text for a note I want to stand out in the instructions. In the Word output, the text in the table is indented as expected but the left border of the table is not - it goes all the way to the left side of the page. This is in Robohelp 2020, specifically 2020.3.32.

In Robohelp:

This did work in RH11, so I'm thinking it's a bug. Is there anything I should do differently?

Again you are hitting issues caused by RoboHelp now applying strict HTML5 and CSS3 standards. In this one I'm more inclined to think the old code allowed Adobe to make it work in ways the new standards do not.

 

I would create two table styles. One fully left aligned and the same table with an indent.

 

After two press Enter twice and then insert the indented table. Then restart the list with numbering set to 3.
