RE: Table cell problem

Hi, Ken

Well, I added some more code to your fragment (the result you can see in "table_test.fo" and "table_test.pdf"). As it seems to me, the reason of problem is that you set the border for fo:block, but not for a cell.
I changed the XSL FO code for fo:table, added fo:table-column elements to specify fixed layout and set the border and padding for each cell. See results attached

Here is some exclusion from my XSL FO code.
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%"
    wrap-option="wrap" border="3pt double black">
    <fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="20%"/>
    <fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="10%"/>
....
    <fo:table-body>
        <!-- 1st row -->
        <fo:table-row>
            <fo:table-cell border="0.5pt solid black" padding="1pt">
                <fo:block font-weight="bold" color="blue">
                    Option Name 1 </fo:block>
            </fo:table-cell>
....
        </fo:table-row>
    </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>

P.S.

It would be better for understanding of the problem if you include the whole problematic XSL FO element next time into your letter. Maybe skipping just unnecessary, not-significant or repeating sub-elements. Now it's unclear what does cause your problem, because no one knows what attributes you put into fo:table element. Also I think it's better to include pure XSL FO to get a solution for your problem than the part of your XSL stylesheet (you can easily hide private information replacing it with neutral text).
