All those extra tags necessary. AbiWord's Table structure in the piece
table is as follows.
<Table Strux "properties of the table">
<Cell Strux "properties of the cell">
.
.
.
Content of the cell
.
.
<End Cell Strux>
<Cell Strux "properties of the cell">
.
.
.
Content of the cell
.
.
<End Cell Strux>
<Cell Strux "properties of the cell">
.
.
.
Content of the cell
.
.
<End Cell Strux>
<End Table strux>
each of those strux's needs it's own combination of <strux> .... </strux>
combination.
Though Dom made the end strux's more sane by just putting in <endcell />
instead of <endcell></endcell>
Anyway it basically just XML. Congratulations once again on your very
quick work. I'll check out want went wrong with the height lines of the
first and second cell. I suspect it is a small calculation error. I didn't
test the code with such a small table :-)
Cheers!

PS. Now where are all these MS Word import experts when you need them?
