I have create a minimal .rptdesign file in eclipse helios using Birt 2.6.0
with the below xml file as a datasource:
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
I have the created a table and bound it to a dataset with the following
rowmapping:
/note
and the following columnmapping:
Column Name: to
Data Type String
XPath Exp.: /to
On the table I have made bounds around the whole table and around the
details row. Further I have added a 10 point padding to the data item in the
details row.
When I preview and export to PDE everything looks fine. But when I export to
word (word 2010) there is no bounds around the details and there is not
padding.
This does look like a bug. Can you try applying the border and padding
to the cells in the row instead of on the row itself. I modified your
example below.
