In word, if a table cell breaks across a page, it will put a line after the partial cell and/or before the cell on the next page. This isn't doable in FO is it?

It is ... the table border's width is a length value, and one of the five compound components of a length value is conditionality, and the initial value for conditionality is "discard", which is why you don't see the table border of the cell spanning a column boundary: it has been discarded.

Here is an example of how to retain the border, taken from my XSL-FO class:

<block border="solid"
       border-after-width.conditionality="retain"
       border-before-width.conditionality="retain"
       widows="0" orphans="0">
  This is a test with three longer lines in a block.
</block>

I hope this helps.
