To reproduce use this code: Section section = new Section(); Table table = new Table(); section.Blocks.Add(table); TableRow row = new TableRow(); TableCell cell = new TableCell(); Paragraph p = new Paragraph(); Span sp = new Span(); sp.Text = "Benefit Start"; sp.UnderlineType = Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox.UI.UnderlineType.Line; p.Inlines.Add(sp); row.Cells.Add(cell); cell.Blocks.Add(p); table.Rows.Add(row); this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Sections.Add(section); You will see that the text's underlining is wider than it should be. Resolution: This issue is addressed in the new version of the control - RadRichTextEditor. Please use the new control instead the RadRichTextBox.
