Re: general font complaint, no response needed

Actually, Times New Roman is the default font for FrameMaker 6
and 7 under Windows. I am sure you never personally installed
Times New Roman on your system, but it is one of the system fonts
of all versions of Windows since Windows 3.1. Since it is the
one of the few fonts that Adobe can assume is actually on your
system, it is used as the default font and the default value
for all predefined paragraph styles. You obviously can redefine
the font used in styles and use a template document after that.

If you have a Windows system that is missing Times New Roman,
you will probably see many more problems than a missing font with
FrameMaker.

What is the problem with the hidden table cells? It allows you
to retrieve the values if "un-straddle" the cells?

In this particular situation, it is not believed that there is a 
"bug" here that needs to be fixed?
