Here is a discovery I recently made.  If anyone has a fix, or any
suggestion please let me know.

The Berkeley Accent marks don't work properly within a table.
Outside of a table they are beautiful, but they lack the necessary
chutzpah (sp?) to work in a table.  (The original ms accents work
fine in a table.)

The following document illustrates the problem.
