Table translation behavior using structured framemaker

[Lynne A. Price]

Noah,
   The problem is that you have not told FrameMaker how many columns there 
are in the table, so it only creates one column. One easy fix is to add a 
cols attribute to your tgroup element whose value is the number of columns 
in the table.
