E-mail tables

[Ian M. Walker]

Here at work we send a shift turnover three times a day from shift to shift.

This e-mail contains about five tables and we've asked everybody to change
their option to enable Word as the editor. I've created a template but we
usually use the previous shift e-mail to add our notes and then send this on.

The problem I'm having is that the tables keep on changing size. I've done
everything I can think of. I've recreated it from scratch three times now.
I ensure that the tables are set to a fixed width on the columns and yet it
will still happen on some tables and not the others.

We do paste text into the cells but I've not seen any coding coming in that
could cause this.

We are using Office 2003 (11.8118.8132) SP2.

Any ideas please?

Cheers.

Only thing I can think of that might be Outlook related is because of
different font settings for replies and forwards amongst you. These settings
will take effect when they use reply/forward and then modify the
email/table.

For other suggestions it might be better that you post this in an Word
newsgroup.

Thank you for the response.

This is happening even when I send my replies though and I always use the
format painter to ensure consistency. The e-mail can look absolutely fine on
the screen and in print preview but then when it is sent one or two of the
tables will be much wider than the others.

Any other thoughts please?

I shall duplicate my question in the Word forum.
