Hello, I have to say that you have got a very keen eye as I really could not notice the difference. One possible solution could be to compensate for the additional space under the OOoTableText paragraph (2pt or 0.07cm!!) with additional top padding of the cell. Of course if OOo provided Table Styles it would be dead easy to do that, while now the conversion to the new tips/notes/caution tables throughout all the chapters has to be done manually which is a big pain. I will make a test and if it works I will upload a new revision of the template that fixes the alignment of the lists and numbered items in a T/N/C table as well as the vertical alignment of the text.
