I have inserted a table from Word into a new post using the “paste from word” function. All of the contents and grid lines inside the table pasted in okay but my outside border disappeared. It appears in the editor but not on the actual page. I checked the border settings in Word and they are correct. Am I missing something?

Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

As for your table borders, they’ll need to be configured via your theme’s stylesheet – not within Word.

That’s what she said she did, esmi 🙂 The paste from word function is exactly what you linked to.

There’s also publishing from word directly: http://samanathon.com/publish-to-wordpress-from-microsoft-word-2007/
