Tables not FM's strong point? Hmmm, I haven't heard that one before, Nadine.
I've seen a prepress company buying FM only for its powerful table features.
They had to produce travel catalogs of several hundreds of pages full of
tables and pictures and they couldn't get the job done with Quark
*shrug*
Different users have different needs, and FM tables don't meet mine.
As to the OP's op, we shouldn't have to have a multitude of plug-ins for
FM. It should work the way it should work.

Actually, I'd take the opposite viewpoint.
Because users have different needs, there should be a larger multitude
of plug-ins to accommodate those specializations and unique needs and
ways of working.

As you say, different users have different needs, but that does not mean
the tool is wrong in how it goes about it's work. Frame does work the way it
should, you just don't like or agree with how it defines that.
Word should too, and not reformat documents on a whim or renumber items
to the proverbial desert island would take me about a
millisecond.

Folks, I have no intention
I am genuinely curious what tool you have found to be superior at
handling tables and why.
Same here ... I have not looked much, but, like you, I use FrameMaker 8
and Word 2007 (different purposes) and I definitely prefer FM to Word
for the table handling.
Is there some other product that works

You're missing Rick Quatro's TableCleaner plug in, a great tool that
does this conversion as well as a host of other table-related stuff.
It's a critical piece of my tool kit...

There is a much faster and easier way to do what you are doing. Use the
tablecleaner plugin from Rick Quatro. Works like a champ, believe me.
