Whatever the XFC release I use (4.4, 4.4.2, 4.5), at least in the sample .fo file you sent me, I see no difference whatsoever in the generated RTF. > > For this issue our goal is to try to match the way html is renders table > with same properties.

Do not generate one fo:table per HTML row like you do. Instead, generate a single table. By design, a single table has the contents of all its columns properly aligned.
