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.
