I found another topic on this posted in May http://forums.adobe.com/message/1976717#1976717
I am working in RH 8 and generating WebHelp
I have a lot of tables in various topics in my project.
Up until yesterday, the tables were working fine.
Yesterday, the table alignment for new tables started acting odd.
They all vertically align content in tables to the center even though the alignment is set for top.
This happens for tables in new topics and if I add a table into an existing topic (where table content is aligned correctly).
The response on the linked posting above was that it is a bug in RH 8 and does not affect the compiled help.
In my project, the source view looks fine (aligned to TOP), but when displayed in the Preview Topic view the alignment is center.
So, after seeing the post above, I generated the help and the vertical alignment still shows centered in compiled WebHelp.
I also generated HTML help to see if this is a WebHelp issue and the vertical alignment still shows centered in compiled HTML help.
I copied one of the tables from a prior topic that is aligned correctly into one of my new topics from yesterday and the alignment is fine for that table.
I checked the Header code in HTML and there is no table related code.
I checked the HTML code for the table and it has vertical-align: top.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to research this problem or what the actual problem is?
As a workaround right now, I am copying an existing table from an existing topic that is aligned correctly and so far it is working.
As always - thanks for any assistance.
