Click Cursor in Table Within Table

I have a table within a table. I can see both tables and
the background. One does not cover the other. When I try
to click in a table, my cursor goes to the background.
Then once in a while when I CAN click on the table, I
can't leave it to click on another table or the
background. What can I do?
 
One difficulty, with nested tables, is the inability to select the outer
table. Here is my "workaround".

1. Go into the HTML window (Source in FP 2003)
2. Right after the body tag <BODY> type something in -- I use asdf
3. Switch back to design view and you can now click after asdf and edit hte
background

The same can be done before the <TABLE> tag for nested tables. Yes, this
"fix" is kludgy, but it is quite common to not be able to select properly in
WYSIWYG program. In FrontPage 2003, you can go into a split view and select
the begin table tag, which will allow a right click to properties in either
window, so it is getting better.

Greg,
That's funny that's your workaround! I've been using FP since 97, and I thought
I was brilliant for coming up with that exact same workaround!! That's so cool.
A kindred spirit... :)
