There are some known refresh problems with table display, including:

• The bottom border sometimes does not display. This is a refresh problem that is corrected when scrolling.
• Adjusting column size or inserting/deleting columns may cause display problems in tabbed tables or if outside borders are selected. This is a refresh problem that is corrected when you scroll or press Enter.
• Column spacing initially throws off drop shadows, then corrects when an edit is made.
• Some changes to border sizes may cause text wrapping not to adjust properly. If this happens, save and reopen the document and the wrapping will be adjusted.
• In Subforms only, text that wraps around an animated table overprints the first displayed row and then corrects with the display of subsequent rows. Workaround: Place the table and wrapped text in a form instead of a subform.

• It is not recommended to merge cells in tabbed tables because there are some display and editing issues. Workaround: In a tabbed table, set borders to zero to achieve the same effect as merged cells.
• If a fixed width table is center or right justified, and a value is expressed in Column Spacing, the table placement shifts to the left. Workaround: Use Table Margin to achieve the desired placement.
• Cell image background content does not appear when a new row or column is inserted or appended. Workaround: Place the cursor in the cell that contains the background image and select Apply To All.
• Cell image background and table color are not recognized as content when special border styles (ridged/grooved) are selected. The cell fills with the border color in read mode. Workaround: Entering a space displays the cell image and table color in read mode.
• Text may be overprinted by large borders if the text is indented then outdented. Workaround: Adjust column spacing.
• When selecting Transitions, you must do so cell by cell. Highlighting a group of cells results in the transition being applied to only the rightmost cell.
• When using "Once when opened" as the cycle option for special table row display, there must be a minimum of two rows. A single row does not display in read mode. Workaround: If you want to display only a single row, you can insert a row above the row to be displayed and set the all the border widths to zero, effectively creating an invisible row.
• Macintosh only: Transition Effects are currently not working on the Macintosh platform.
