Yes. Tables are formatted in word as normal with or without borders as
required. Select option to fix table borders in HDK before compiling. As
somebody else said this is not searchable but it IS displayed exactly as
created.

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?
