Hello,

I am testing TRichView as an alternative to MS Word for a mail merge

application [Word is too slow].

I am experiencing some problems with the output:

1.. Tables are printing MALFORMED on ink-jet printers but properly on our

Laser, Fax and PDF printers.

a.. Also the fonts are rendering with a slightly different size on the

ink-jet printers, therefore changing pagination. The ink-jet printers are

far less WYSIWYG than the other printer.

2.. Tables borders are being drawn in the outside table even though we

have the cell borders set to none on this table [one inner table does have

the borders on].

3.. We are getting trailing spaces on the merge fields. This creates

unacceptable output when the merge field is the last field in the sentence

and there are spaces between the merge field and the period.

Please advise me on what actions are available to resolve these issues.

Thank you very much,

Robert Baker
