I have posted a particular query Charles. The issue is not about developing websites it is about trying to ensure that material tht is posted to a parish council wesite is accessible and that needs to take account of WCAG 2.1 or the parish council could be breaking the law.
I have followed the guidance given by Word 2016 and the result is that a table is classed as being used for layout. Oh and by the way most people that use Office do not work in offices.
