Help! Formatting Tables to Fit in as Personal Books

Hey everyone, I'm trying to fit a table marking out the flow of Biblical text (arcing) into Logos as a Personal Book. The table looks great in word, but when I attach it in Logos through the personal book tool, it gets all jumbled together and looks terrible. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Maybe save it as an image and paste it into the word doc? I attached the file. I'm just getting started on this, but eventually would like to scripture tag it so it will link to Bibles.

Thank you!

    PB doesn't do tables very well.  Better to do it as an image.

    You will get much better results if you simply remove the border lines rather than merge cells. Merged cells is confusing to the PB compiler.[:(]

    I don't know since I'd found a satisfactory work-around, I've treated it as a limitation rather than bug

    Hey Matt, I don't think anything here got resolved for me (but it was so long ago I honestly don't remember whether I got these tables to work or not!). I didn't ever report this either. What I did do though is switch to simply tabbing over once if the new sentence refers to the above one in any way (I've been marking them with an arcing marker as well such as CA for causal). Tabs have worked pretty well in the place of these tables. I have had one problem with tabs though as well. When I put in verse tags ([[@Bible:Genesis 1:1]]) into my PB the final PB text moves over the same number of spaces that the text of the verse tagging took up in the docx. What's strange is that I don't think this happens in other PBs that I've downloaded from the files section of the forums.
