Hi weirat,

(on winxp and using MS Word to open the rtf)

I could only get the example from the docs to work if I added an extra number to the widths (but see update2 below).

This of course produced a three column, three row table. The docs show a table with: first row two column, second row three columns and third row two columns.

The underline and the bullet showed fine.

hth 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use RTF::Writer;

my $rtf = RTF::Writer->new_to_file("greetings.rtf");
$rtf->prolog( 'title' => "Greetings, hyoomon" );

my $decl = RTF::Writer::TableRowDecl->new('widths' => [1500,1900, 1500
+]);
$rtf->row($decl, "Stuff", "Hmmm");
$rtf->row($decl, [\'\ul', 'Foo'], 'Bar', \'\bullet');
$rtf->row($decl, "Hooboy.");

update:
Forgot to say that it didn't work at all without the $rtf->prolog(...) call.

update2:
A bit more fiddling and the following did reproduce the table shown in the docs

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use RTF::Writer;

my $rtf = RTF::Writer->new_to_file("greetings.rtf");
$rtf->prolog( 'title' => "Greetings, hyoomon" );

my $decl;
$decl = RTF::Writer::TableRowDecl->new('widths' => [1500,1900]);
$rtf->row($decl, "Stuff", "Hmmm");

$decl = RTF::Writer::TableRowDecl->new('widths' => [1500,1900,1500]);
$rtf->row($decl, [\'\ul', 'Foo'], 'Bar', \'\bullet');

$decl = RTF::Writer::TableRowDecl->new('widths' => [1500,1900]);
$rtf->row($decl, "Hooboy.");
