The "comments@adobe.com"  (which replaced "comments@frame.com") was
discontinued some time ago.  There currently is no simple answer for
submitting suggestions, enhancements, etc. about FrameMaker products
via email _except_ that recently, B. Mark Hilton of Adobe Systems
introduced himself to the list(s) as the new Marketing Manager for
FrameMaker.  His address is "mhilton@adobe.com"

There is another address, "fmerror@adobe.com" for submitting problem
reports and bug info, although you may need to have a service/support
contract number to use this address.

Now about the tables: What is it that Frame's current table mechanism
is not working for you?

Table formats (as saved in the table catalog) CAN be applied to other
tables, and then the BASIC, RULING and SHADING properties of the
recipient table will be updated as appropriate.

This will NOT affect the format of cell contents*, alter any custom
ruling or shading, alter straddled cells, change the number of rows
(of any type) or columns, or change the widths of columns.

* the one area that formats _may_ change in the cells are if you are
using paragraphs that have autonumbering, and the change in table
design also alters the ROW FIRST vs TABLE FIRST numbering evaluation.
