Converting from Word to FM9: Tables in Tables??

[Writer]

First of all, congratulations on migrating to FM.

FM does support tables within tables, but you have to put the inner 
table into an anchored frame.

I've never been a fan of putting Notes, etc in a table. I've always 
preferred a paragraph tag, with the text "Note:  " defined on the 
Numbering tab of the Paragraph Designer. If designed simply enough, one 
Note para tag should work in body paragraphs, numbered steps, and within 
tables.
