Aviva Wulfsohn wondered: <<I have a folder full of Word documents
saved as .rtf's for our Intranet site. I make updates to these
documents fairly regularly. Each one contains a relatively small
table - three columns, maybe 20-30 rows. Without fail, every time I
go to retrieve one of these documents either the Heading Rows Repeat
command is gone (header obviously doesn't repeat on each page) or the
table borders are gone throughout the table or just within select
rows/columns. Can anyone explain this phenomenon?>>
My guess would be that one or more of these table properties is not
correctly supported by the RTF document format. Try saving the files
as Word .doc files and see if that solves the problem. If it does,
you have your answer. If it doesn't, you've at least provided
additional clues.
