Just to reinforce the message you've been getting, I'll add another enthusiastic endorsement of Rick Quatro's TableCleaner. My ROI period was longer than Diane's -- maybe as much as half an hour. But even without a big Word-to-FM conversion project (for which it's indispensable), the argument for TableCleaner is compelling. 

FWIW, I disagree with Nadine. I generally like FM's table functionality (better than Word's), and _not_ splitting rows across pages is one of the things I really like. :-)
