@nitinchopkar We have completed the analysis of the issue. The issue occurs because incorrect table column widths stored in the document are not re-calculated by Aspose.Words. The problematic contents are in auto-fit tables with incorrect column widths stored in tblGrid element.
The issue has been postponed until the main WORDSNET-832 issue, related to table grid calculation algorithm, is resolved.

any update on it? we are waiting for solution.

@institutemagica Unfortunately, there are no news regarding the issue. It is still postponed until the main issue is resolved. We continuously work on improving our table layout algorithm to make it closer to MS Word as much as possible. Please accept our apologies for your inconvenience.

is that Table layout algorithm issue resolved at MS Word. If its resolved then we can check it with latest aspose.word.

Let us know about latest version and fixes.

@institutemagica Aspose.Words does not use MS Word, it has our own layout algorithm. We will keep you informed and let you know once the issue is resolved.
