    Answer

    This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# DPOL6HRHRU and as not been fixed in version 8.0 but is approved for investigation for a future release.

    A possible work around for this issue is to create the table using LotusScript or in a third party application (such as MS Word) and then copy that table into the Notes document.
