Converting Word.docx tables to AsciiDoc (adoc) formatting issue

Converting Word.docx tables to AsciiDoc (adoc) formatting issue

Pandoc has been a huge time saver for converting source Word.docx files to 
asciidoctor format. Specifically, I'm converting Word-format tables to 
asciidoctor-format tables, and of the 40 I've converted, only one output 
file has table width issues that i have not been able to overcome by 
manually replacing "smart" quotes with straight quotes.  However, one file 
has me stumped, and I'm hoping that a pandoc extension will help my 
situation. 

Below are some commands I've used. Any suggestions either on using the 
Smart (or other) extension, or what other character could be causing the 
formatting issue in the rendered HTML?


Commands I've used that all yield the same output:

   - pandoc -o outputfile.adoc wordfile.docx


   - pandoc -t asciidoc-smart -o outputfile.adoc wordfile.docx


   - pandoc --ascii -o outputfile.adoc wordfile.docx


I am using Pandoc 2.7.3 on Linux

Can you give us a Word sample illustrating the problem?

Thx for getting back to me, John.  Unfortunately, I cannot provide the 
troublesome Word document, because the information is proprietary.   To 
date, I've search/replaced all double-quotes, single quotes with straight 
ones. I've replaced all dashes. I'll keep digging. thx.
