Using a Word Processor Table to Display a List

Due to the differences in how HotDocs assembles a DOCX template or an RTF template, there are often some differences in table formats. For example, if you choose to enclose the whole table in a repeat instruction rather than using REPEATs within the table, HotDocs does not recommend having any text on the same line as the REPEAT instruction preceding a table. In an RTF template HotDocs merges this text into the first cell of the table after assembly. In a DOCX template that text remains visible above the table; however, the table itself has a gap between each row. These issues can be avoided by placing the REPEAT instruction on a line by itself.
