Ok, Rick Quatro to the rescue of course. Something that my Senior mind had 
totally spaced on.

All is good again.

Subject: [Framers] Table question`

So,

I don't know if I can even describe this well, but I will give it a stab.

I have a two column, one row table layout that shows only the top border of the 
table. (All other table borders, including column borders are hidden.) In the 
first column, I have an anchored frame and I import one of four different icons 
for four different table formats: a Note icon for a Note Table, a Tip icon for 
a Tip Table, etc.  The second column contains table text.

My client has updated their corporate font, so the top line of the text no 
longer exactly lines up the way that it used to/the way that I want with the 
top of the table icon - even after resizing the text, text spacing, adjusting 
table borders, etc. So, I tried something else - above the first line of the 
table text, I placed a very small paragraph tag (named it TableSpacer) and it 
was so easy - the alignment was the way that is used to be and it was so much 
easier than trying to muck around w/ the placement of the table icons, etc.

Here's the rub . . . I have updated all four table formats after adding this 
paragraph tag to a blank table format and when I insert a NEW table, all is OK 
in my world, but all the current tables that I have . . .is there a way to 
automate this? I have tried global update options, selecting an existing table 
of the "old" format and using the Table Designer to apply the new format. . .

I really seriously do not want to have to go through all these tables manually 
and apply the new spacer tag. . . it would be time killer and hit the client 
budget unnecessarily.

I know that I am having a Senior moment here, but any and all help is 
appreciated.
