Insert HTML table as "Text From File" - Row Height Too Large

Hello - I did a Google search on this and found a like to an
"ExpertsExchange.com" solution but I refuse to subscribe to that in order to
get an answer to this - I'll bet someone in this forum can help me out.

I've got an HTML document that contains a table - I insert it into Word 2007
using Insert > Object > Text from File. The rows all come up larger than
they should (seems like an extra line in every row). I played around with
CSS to try to force it but no luck. The document displays fine in a browser.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!
 
Bump...can anybody please hook me up? I'm sure someone's seen this
before...please don't make me go to ExpertsExchange instead of a Microsoft
board to get an answer to a problem with MS Word. :-)
 
Thanks for the reply Cindy!

Yes, I meant higher (taller). I turned on the display of non-printing
characters - there aren't any additional paragraph marks in the rows. Also,
an exact row height isn't set.

You should be able to see the same behavior I'm seeing if you create a
simple htm file containing this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<TABLE border="1">
<TR>
<TD>Test11</TD>
<TD>Test12</TD>
<TD>Test13</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Test21</TD>
<TD>Test22</TD>
<TD>Test23</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

And then try to insert it into a Word document using Insert > Text from
File. All of the rows appear with what looks like an extra line below them.

Thanks,
John

find an answer here!

Take care,
John
