Table styles in RH don't transfer to Word 2010

[jhy1111]

In RH, I have defined a table style called top-row-shaded, and have mapped this style for delivery to Word, in word-template.dot file. All RH tables of style top-row-shaded shoud map to my Word template style top-row-shaded, but they don't.

Does anyone kmow a fix?

If not, does anyone have a word macro that can convert my tables to the  top-row-shaded style in the Word file?

My RH file has another table style (called no-border) that I don't want to convert, so I can't simply apply the style to all tables in the Word file.

Thanks, Joanne

Without setting up a test, I'm not sure why the tables are not mapping. By all means see the Contact page on my site and send me a one topic project and the Word template. I will take a look but it will be at least a week or so before I can.

Meantime there is a macro on my site that will need editing that will find each table and then allow you to apply changes or skip to the next table.

Hello Peter

Many thanks for your offer of help.

I have sent a one topic project by https://www.wetransfer.com/#

Table style in stylesheet: top-row-shaded
Stylesheet name: TD_Stylesheet5.css
Word template name: word_template.dot

Try generating DOCX instead of DOC. Fixed the problem in my test.

Hi Peter,

This works, thanks! A great time saver, and much nicer than running macros.I had never noticed the doc/docx option in the Generate Word doc format field. 

Do you also happen to know if there is a way to apply the table formats when I generate directly to PDF as an output format? At the moment, the table formats are not applied.

Many thanks, Joanne

When you generate a PDF, Rh creates a Word document behind the scenes so it should work. Perhaps that process uses the DOC format. Generate both using the DOCX format and see if it works.
