I have created a new zoned border that is similar to the default border. When I insert a revision table, the table does not "snap" to the border. Did I make an error when I created the border? Is this problem caused by Inventor?

Could you post your template please? Thx,

Mr. Ron,
You are so generous with your bad news! (Perhaps I am asking the wrong questions.)
I think I have attached my drawing template file, Standard.idw zipped into RET Standard.zip. My custom border includes my statement that the dimensions are in inches and a date stamp (I downloaded the TimeStamp function from Charlie Bliss' site).
I was surprised that Inventor did not allow me to edit the default border, but I was a little bit aggravated that it would not let me copy it.
I stole a clever idea for my title blocks, but I do not remember who to credit. I created and saved my title blocks. Then I added a "DRAFT" watermark to each title block and saved them with names that begin with DRAFT. The sheets in my template have the draft title blocks. When the drawing is approved, I delete the draft blocks and insert the normal title blocks. All of the information is in the drawing properties so I do not need to update any of the information manually.
