Export a Section to Word or PDF

Has anyone figured out how to export a section to Word or PDF without having to do extensive repair work when it arrives in the new fomat? The worst problem is tables. Word seems to be a bit better- PDF is unusable.

    Please supply a sample of the section you want to send to word, once in word the pdf bit is easy.

      Hi John

      The exporting part I can do- whether to PDF or to Word- the problem is what the conversion does to the page. In the previous post I uploaded PDF results. Here's the equivalent Word result.

      Cheers

        It is a sample of the original data you are wanting in word or pdf, not the result. What application is in before the export..

    John,
    I suppose printing each page to PDF in that section wouldn't do?

      The problem isn't doing it- It's what the PDF conversion does to the pages- I can't see how you can set any PDF settings. I've attached screenshots of a PDF result, from choosing Export> PDF, and a screenshot of the original page. If there are 20 or so pages in the section, I'd rather not do them individually.
