Description Dmitry Balzer CLA 2010-12-17 10:45:02 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

The first inline element in a grid cell will take the style of the grid.
This applies to documents generated in Word format only.
As a workaround for this, one must always insert an empty label as the first inline element, which is quite dodgy.

The problematic code is in org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.wpml.writer.AbstractWordXmlWriter.startTable(IStyle, int)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a BIRT report template with a grid in it
2. Put an inline element in any table cell
3. Change the visual style of that element
4. Preview report in DOC

Could you please attach the sample report here?

I can not reproduce this issue with latest 2.6.2 build. My report design is attached.

I have just tested your sample report - this bug is reproducible with BIRT 2.6.0 and *not* reproducible with BIRT 2.6.2 RC2! Thanks!

However, I've encountered another bug in 2.6.2 which is very important, please have a look:
