Hello all,

I have created a file that creates tables and pastes into a Word file. For some reason file pastes tables just fine for me, but for someone else with a different Word configuration is not working properly.

I have tried pasting, paste special keeping source formatting and autofit options, but I just can't figure out why tables widths are not respected.

This is the part of the code that creates a new Word file and pastes information as it is (I have changed it many times):

Code:
Set WDApp = CreateObject("Word.Application.15")    WDApp.Visible = False
    
    Selection.Copy
    
    WDApp.Documents.Add
    WDApp.Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatOriginalFormatting
    
    With WDApp.ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
        .Borders(wdBorderHorizontal).LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
        '.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitWindow)
    End With

This is how the tables look for me:
