Hi, Ben. I am (or will be) using tables in the
document. Even though I am writing this beast in
Frame, when it comes time to "deliver" the document to
the client, I need to deliver it in Word, with each
step in a table format.
The overall format is:
|-------|-----------------------------------|
|Step 1 | Do this yada, yada, yada. |
| | |
| | Result: This happens, yada, yada. |
|-------|-----------------------------------|
|Step 2 | Do this yada, yada, yada. |
| | |
| | Result: This happens, yada, yada. |
|-------------------------------------------|
<sigh>
