Interesting! But first, HDK doesn't actually compile anything--it calls HCW
(for Win95) to do the compiling, and that's who chokes (it actually doesn't
error out, it just gives you a warning). This is because table formatting
isn't a RoboHELP/HDK issue, but a limitation of WinHelp (and its compiler)
itself.
Are you saying that you can format a table with borders, including vertical
borders, and you see those borders in the resulting .hlp file?
