Hello,

When I have a look in the document section the columns of the tables are correct aligned:

When I do an export of this document, the result is not the same:

Can you tell me how to resolve the issue?

Thanks a lot,

Sylvie

Hi @svalais,

Could you post a snippet of your code, especially where you define your column widths if you have done that?

When no width is defined for a column the system will automatically take up more space where needed due to longer text. This might look a bit different in input and export depending on the size of screen you use.

Kind regards,  
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,

The business did a change to these tables, so it is not needed anymore.

Kind regards,

Sylvie
