flexTable extends beyond margins on GNU/Linux #160

Closed iembry-USGS closed 7 years ago

iembry-USGS commented 7 years ago

I followed the example to create document_example.docx on a GNU/Linux system. I opened up the document in LibreOffice Writer on the GNU/Linux system and the flexTable only showed 2 columns on the page as all other columns were beyond the margins. I opened up the same file in Microsoft Word on a MS Windows system and the flexTable appeared correctly.

Can you test creating and viewing flexTables in LibreOffice and Microsoft Word on both MS Windows and GNU/Linux systems?

Also, is it possible to use LaTeX instead of html for tables?

Thank you.

Hi

There is no support for viewing MS docs in LibreOffice. LO do not handle all OOXML standard.

Also, is it possible to use LaTeX instead of html for tables?

Unfortunately no.
