When editing word documents in word.exe 2010/2013 the format, tabbing, and layout is correct

When editing in Word web app the tabbing and layout changes and is no longer correct.

using sharepoint 2013 sp1 with office web apps 2013 sp1

edit with word 2010 and 2013 with no issues

when in sharepoint and using word web app to edit the document is reformat and incorrect

when viewing in a document in word web app the document looks correct, it only changes when you edit in word web app

Hi,

In this forum we mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about Office client, as the issue occurs on Office Web Apps on SharePoint, we may not provide an accurate explanation.

But as far as I know, some format settings may not be supported on Office Web Apps, there is still some limitations. If you need to verify this, I suggest you post the question in the SharePoint forum, provide a sample file, and let them test it for you:
