plotting tables in ORD

Hello,

When I place a table in ORD either from an excel document, report, or just a blank table, it looks good in the drawing, but when I try to print it, it will print all black. I know if I change the background to "No Fill", then this prints the table. However, I'm trying to place these tables in such a way that it will hide anything behind it (survey lines for example) automatically, so we don't have to clip the references for every table placed in the plan set. 

One route we've taken in the past is to place a shape with a fill color of 255, and then used our .dscript to tell the plot to print that color white. Then we just need to make sure that the shape is behind whatever it's clipping. Now that I'm switching to using the Table function in ORD, I would like to avoid placing a shape. But, would this same strategy work? Can we use the .dscript to find a table background of 255 and tell it to plot white?
