IncludeText & Table Borders

Hi, I'm using IncludeText to link to separate documents,
but when the documents come through, sometimes the table
borders come across wrong.

In particular, when there is a table with all borders
turned off, it comes across with all borders turned on.  
If there is a table with some borders on and some off, it
comes over fine.

In addition, some fonts come across incorrectly (I have
read lots of things about styles and such, and I have had
no luck even with creating new style names in the source
document).  Basically, where I am having problems is when
I have a document with Textboxes, the fonts in the
testboxes are often incorrect when they come over into the
master document.

Thanks!
Gary

I found a solution to the second problem with the text
boxes.  At first, I was going through and assigning each
one a different style, but that seemed cumbersome.  So
then, I simply changed the "Normal" style on all documents
to be Times New Roman 12 pt., I then I had to go back in
and correct the fonts that were changed, but now its all
the same.  So short story is it WAS the styles after all...

Still searching for a solution to the table problem from
below, though.

I just ran across this issue myself.  The easy fix is to just make all the
borders white (assuming your printing on white paper :-)
