I just bought a new laptop and installed all my usual programs on it including office 2013.Its a Windows 11 laptop.
My work has a system that exports a document in a HTML format that you paste into Word. It’s pre-formatted with tables, graphics and my business headers and logo.
On my old laptop, the HTML table fits into the full width of the word document automatically and doesn’t require any adjustment.
In the new laptop, the format somehow gets skewed and forces the tables and rows to only 3/4 width of the available page.
I’ve tried a lot of things to resolve this including double checking system export settings, page margins, document templates, paste special options, importing document templates from the old laptop and etc.
Nothing resolves it and it’s fixed to the 3/4 page. I can manually adjudt the table and row sizes, but it becomes quite a significant editing exercise as it’s multiple rows and tables, which means I can’t just highlight it all and adjust it all at the same time.
Any ideas on what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated.
You said that it “exports a document in a HTML format that you paste into Word” - so how exactly are you pasting it? How are you opening the HTML file, if not in a browser?
Also, why does it have to be Word, why not convert it to a PDF, afterall if it’s an invoice that you’re generating then PDFs make more sense.
