Hi Nancy,

I've run into this in FM 7, too.  Don't know why it happens, but my 
workaround has simply been to add to the top cell margin in table 
designer.  If you select your text in a table cell (zoom to 400% or 
600%) you will see that the selection runs into the horizontal rule 
above the cell, and partway into the cell above.  Increase the top cell 
margin by small amounts and update-all, until the selection highlight is 
within the body cell only, and you have the right adjustment.

HTH,
