Geoff -- I don't work with Publisher (as I've always been told  it was an even bigger <many expletives deleted> than MS Word), but you can do this with Adobe Indesign no problem. You can get a free 30
day trail version at Adobe.com and with canny upgrading from Adobe pagemaker (old versions can be had for less than $100) you can get the program for less than about $300. You might also try
publishing it in MS Word, then importing the word file into Publisher.... another possibility, copy the table into a drawing program and draw your lines and stuff there, saving in that format.... good luck, Carl
