Yes, show us a small example.
This works fine for me, ie no gaps, using pretty much the code you've
described. I put the borders on the right side of cells only, padding on
cells only & specified <fo:table border-collapse="separate" > if that
matters.
Cheers,
Roland.

Fantastic! Thanks, Roland. I removed similar over-specification in my
document to fix some other problems, too.

Removed this: ' background-color="white"'
in several places & that seemed to fix the problem, (although the image
url's got 404's).
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, Roland. Sorry about not including an example
right off.
Here's the table that does what I'm talking about. It's verbatim: no
names have been changed; there are no innocent to protect. The current
version has no borders around the columns, but when I did it was just '
border-style="solid" border-color="#000066" ' around columns 1 and 2.
Thanks again!
Rod
