  Hello,

  We found few problems with RTF table formating that are loaded to RichTextBox.
  
  Found problems:

  1. Text in cells are cut off, this is the most critical problem for us (examples marked in red and blue, but in almost every row there is cut off text),
  2. There is some kind of inconsistency in columns. (See yellow marker in attached screenshot). This is critical too for us,
  3. All cells/rows are the same height within rtf table, but on report template some rows are higher then the others (example marked in black),
  4. There is some inconsistency also in table lines thickness. In rtf file all lines thickness are the same, but on report are different (Example in green).

  In general, the table looks bad in report template. Could you give me some advices how to improve the table/rpx template to avoid these problems? Thank you.

  We use AR v9.2.3032.0.

  Attached files (screen, report template, rtf file):

  Hello,

  Unfortunately, the RichTextBox control is limited in its support for advanced RTF features such as the ones supported by Microsoft Word. In general, the features supported by WordPad are supported in this control. Hence, this is the limitation of RTB of controls.

  Please refer the following documentation link:

  Thanks,
