VB .NET Active Reports

[alocurto]

I am filling in some .RTF ActiveReports in VB. Basically I am pulling from a DB, replacing information in a formatted RTF. Each field in the RTF looks like this [!field] then I just replace them with the right data. The problem I am having is that the RTF is losing formatting ONLY when doing things like tables. Any ideas on how I can keep the tables in tact and generate the report.
