Assuming the RTF-based table looks the way you want it to, if you have Acrobat one of my favourite tricks for this is:

1. Save or print-to-file the RTF-based table as a PDF.

2. Open the PDF in Acrobat, crop the page to leave only the table, and save the result as PDF.

3. Import the PDF containing the table into the FrameMaker container document.

The resolution of the table is beautiful and it can be resized as a graphic object ala "ESC-g-z, percentage."

This technique -- of saving or printing as a PDF file -- is also a great way of getting stuff out of awkward programs into a FrameMaker document.

Cheers & hope this helps,
Riley
