Strange Frame to PDF problem

Spaces can have unintended consequences. For example, you can have spaces in 
the top row cells of a spreadsheet; for example, "Full Name". But if you 
attempt to query the spreadsheet programatically with ODBC and the top rows 
are column headers, the space can cause problems. Underscores make a good 
substitute for spaces in a case like this ("Full_Name"). Admittedly, this 
example is a little obscure for most users, but I tend to avoid spaces 
anywhere where programming might be involved.
