docbook rtf print table problem


I'm having a problem with <table> when generating rtf output. The
problem is that the current page or paragraph indentation seems to be
inherited by every table box. This causes too much space to be placed
between the left rule and start of text in every box. This problem
does not occur when using <informaltable>, but I need formal tables in
my document.  I'm viewing and printing the resulting rtf file using MS
Word. HTML versions of tables come out fine.

Versions

- Windows NT 4.0 SP 3
- docbook 3.1
- jade 1.2.1
- stylesheets 1.54
- MS Word from Office 97
