style="border-collapse: collapse" ????

[Bob]

I was so happy when FP 2000 came out and I could tell FP
to leave my *&^% code alone. Now, after installing FP
2002, Microsoft is again telling me how to display my
tables.

How the heck do I get rid of this...

style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111"

I'm sure this has come up before in the group, but my
newsgroup searches can't find anything.

Right-click the table, choose Table Properties, and select
the check box titled Show Both Cells and Table Borders.

I agree, BTW, that this "feature" wasn't well thought out.
I think Microsoft was trying to make FrontPage table
borders behave more like Word and Excel table borders. The
grammar error in the check box title is proof of the
pudding. (Who ever heard of cells borders?)

This is fixed in FP2003.
