HTML imported into RTF, printout ! displaying TABLE correctly

to show the behavior, I’ve outlined herein an example. The Form has a single RTF. On PostOpen this form will import an HTML file into the Richtextfield. V5 Notes Client:

I can print the new document before it's saved and the hardcopy presents the table just as it's displayed on the form.

V6.0.2 CF2 Notes Client

I can print the new document before it's saved BUT the hardcopy doesn't display the table as it's seen on the form. 

- has distorted HTML table column widths, appears to ignore the <td width="xx"> settings.

- print preview shows same as UI, looks good.

V6.3 Notes Client

Same behavior as V6.0.2 cf2



 Seems to me that the printing funtion in Client V6 is causing the printer to reflect the 'width="xx"' attributes literally?

Here’s the PostOpen:

If source.IsNewDoc Then

Dim HTMLFile As String

HTMLFile = “C:\temp\tableTmp_786.html”

If FileName=“” And Dir(HTMLFile)<>“” Then

HTMLFile= HtmlFile

Else

HTMLFile=“”

End If

Call source.gotofield(“actionTable”)

If HTMLFile<>“” Then

source.import “html”, HTMLFile

End If

Here’s the contents of “C:\temp\tableTmp_786.html”

Note: I’ve tried setting the table cell width to % to no avail. Your suggestions are most welcomed. thank you.

Don’t know if that helps or makes a difference at all, but did you tried to tick the “Store contents as HTML and MIME” option in the 2nd tab of the field properties box?Don
