    Ok, it's fairly simple to fix: just add top borders to the row in the header. I do think it would be more intuitive to keep the border declared in fo:table for the running headers, but I haven't looked at the spec regarding that.

    Oops, my paste of the sample fo missed some important information. The sample below begins like this:

    <fo:table margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt" border-collapse="collapse" border-left-style="solid" border-right-style="solid" border-top-style="solid" border-bottom-style="solid" border-left-width="0.5pt" border-right-width="0.5pt" border-top-width="0.5pt" border-bottom-width="0.5pt" border-left-color="black" border-right-color="black" border-top-color="black" border-bottom-color="black" width="100%">

    Two other things:
    XEP version = 2.8
    The running headers DO have top borders when rendered by Antenna House.

    Thanks,
    David

    I have a table with headers and borders around every cell. The first header looks fine, wiht borders all around. The headers on the subsequent pages, however, do not have a top border. Is there something wrong with my markup? It looks pretty strange to see the headers on following pages with not top border.

    Thanks,
    David
