E.g. A Purchase Order layout is generated which includes a repeating line for the PO lines. Some of the table is left aligned and some of the table is right aligned but when a change is needed to the layout and the existing layout is exported to Word the alignment in the table is not per what it was set previously nor what is working in BC.
This also occurs when the Word Layout is just opened from the local machine when a small change to the layout is required during initial testing.
Steps that happen.
1. Export a Word Layout from Business Central, all is working as expected with all cells left aligned.
2. Set a cell in the table, on a repeating line, to right aligned
3. Save the word layout and close
4. Import the layout into BC
5. Process Report to view the changes and note a small change that needs to be made to the Word Layout
6. Open Word file, with or without downloading the layout again
7. The field that was previously right aligned is now left aligned again

I wonder why such an annoying problem only gets so little attention?

Indeed I also experienced this a number of times, it's a good idea to fix this behaviour.

When creating Word Layouts with tables the alignment within the table is not maintained all the time.
