SYMPTOMS
When you create an HTML document in Microsoft Word, tables that are left-aligned may appear right-aligned when you view them in the Netscape Navigator 4.0 browser.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when Word uses cascading style sheet (CSS) settings for a left-aligned table, as in the following example   Hello Hello because Netscape Navigator 4.0 does not function as expected with left-aligned tables.



WORKAROUND
To resolve this issue, upgrade to Netscape Navigator 4.5 or later.

To work around this issue, place a DIV tag around any table element that needs to have a margin-left/right CSS setting written out on it, and move that margin-left/right setting to the section of HTML containing the DIV tags, as in the following example:   Hello Hello NOTE: This workaround does not work with nested tables, as in the following example:   Hello Hello
