WD97: Different-Width Cells Display as Equal-Width Cells in Brow

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, create a table in which the first row contains the maximum number of columns in the table. Starting with the second row of the table, merge the cells to create the unequal-size cells. In the HTML source, hide the first row by removing the   codes from the cells in the first row.

NOTE: The   code inserts a nonbreaking space in the table cell, which causes empty cells to be displayed in your Web browser.

If you use Word to modify the HTML document, Word adds the   codes to your document. In this case, you need to re-edit the HTML source and remove the   codes.
