History
Due to Company practices, I am unable to utilize "Rick's Method" Preformatted Tables because of the file location stored on my local drive (e.g., C:\Program Files\RoboHelp Office\RoboHTML\Gallery\Tables using the format yourfilename.htmtable). That said, I am now dependant on using Rh Styles mapped to using Word Table Styles.
BEFORE POSTING HERE: I did some research (attempting to find new ways/tips on Styles to match between Rh and Word) accessing the following sites:
I still need some help...
My Problem: After print generation, the text in the tables is not top-left aligned (Ref. Word - FlexiTable Styles Image on bottom of page) in my Word template/doc. (See table output Image below).

My Questions:
In closing, I want my table format to reflect my Word Table Styles. Please refer to all my settings below (Images).
Thank You,

Rh Mapping to Word Template
Rename the TableText style as that is a built in style name in Word. Add some characters after TableText.
When you map you map the Rh style to TableTextABC.

I believe I am getting closer to a solution (But I still could use some help), let me share what I have done so far.
I created another Normal Styles in Rh and Word, and named it "TableText". Apply the new style to the text inside Rh tables, mapped it to Word TableText (Note: both Rh and Word paragraph settings match). Next, generated the print document to my Word template (Please note the inconsistency outlined in red). The results are as follows:

Hi Peter,
Thanks for dropping in....
I renamed my Word Style (TableText) in MS Word Styles pane to "FlexiFont". Rh Table Style (TableText), I left alone. I re-mapped and re-generated; I get the same results as pointed out in my Feb 4, 2015 9:46 AM post above.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
Created another Word Styles using Style Type = Paragraph, but NOT "...based on Normal Styles; I used a style I had "No Spacing". Thanks Peter!
