Well, unless Adobe broke something in FM7.2, I think there is
something peculiar going on with your document.
I have FM7.1 on my Windows XP laptop, and constructed a

You're right. It's not touching, but it's close. Even if it's 4 pt from
the border, it's still not centered. And I did double-check the table
definition, and no negative numbers are used. The mis-alignment lessens
as the rows get taller; the worst offender is with the row that's a
single line tall.
Nope, no Word weirdness. I created the table from scratch in Frame.

Touching the top rule? Something's wrong there! You said earlier that
