SYMPTOMS
A table with unequal-size cells is displayed incorrectly in your Web browser.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create a table in which the first row contains the maximum number of columns in the table. Starting with the second row of the table, merge the cells to create the unequal-size cells. In the HTML source, hide the first row by removing the  codes from the cells in the first row.

NOTE: The  code inserts a nonbreaking space in the table cell, which causes empty cells to be displayed in your Web browser.

If you use Word to modify the HTML document, Word adds the  codes to your document. In this case, you need to re-edit the HTML source and remove the  codes.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem has been corrected in Word 2000.
