Tables existed before conditional text (I think)
I'd think so! Tables have been around since almost the beginning of word processing.
Tables are funky, whether in Frame or in some other word processor. For example, converting text between Word and Frame is relatively painless, but _tables_ are another story. I've seen some extremely weird behavior, particularly in documents that consist primarily of tables. "Ghost" cells that don't appear on screen but do print; all sorts of strange stuff like that. Just a general comment on tables.
I will eventually have many nearly identical tables in two different documents.
This is exactly what I do. I believe this is a very serious limitation in conditional text, but I image that if it could be easily fixed, it would be. Luckily, this only comes up in one or two tables that I have in my docs, so it isn't that big of a deal.
