Getting a complex table into a document is proving to be difficult. eaDocX does plain tables, so I have tried
1. Pasting screen shots of tables into diagrams
2. Placing tables in linked documents
With the first I get very good looking tables but not easy to edit unless I use a shadow file containing the table. Much better, I thought, to use a linked document. However eaDocX doesn’t do shading very well. What I get is a shaded cell but the text has a white background. Can this be corrected?

I’ve also noticed that the font changes to Times New Roman

Short answer – no.
With Linked Documents, all that eaDocX can do is to save the document as an RTF, then embed that document into Word. It was a choice of 1 on both sides: it’s the only ways EA will deliver the Linked Document, and the only way Word will allow it to be inserted.

I don’t really understand why not, since if I copy the table from the rtf and paste into Word it looks right

For complex tables I use the new scripting feature in eaDocX version 3.4

Works a treat
