I think when you say "old editor", you are talking about an editor that is not FCKeditor right?
Unfortunately, if the content is not well formed, you may have some changes when passing it to FCKeditor, because the editor, using the browser DOM, will "fix" it, and in some cases it can produce an undesired results.
My recommendation would be passing all your content through a system that fixes it. You may use HTMLTidy for that.
I'm having exactly the same problem. I layout with Dreamweaver, and copy from <table> to </table>, then paste it on your program. Then I saw the result on the browser, the layout is totally corrupted. (basically, the table height streches out vertically)

Re: Problem with formatting using content written with old edito
I'm having exactly the same problem.
I layout with Dreamweaver, and copy from <table> to </table>, then paste it on your program.
Then I saw the result on the browser, the layout is totally corrupted.
(basically, the table height streches out vertically)
I tryed 2 scenarios above, but it still the same.
The table layout doesn't work on your program?
Please give me an advice to solve this problem.
Thank you!
