Can footnotes span 2 columns?
I'm trying to set up a document that has two columns, and I'd like the footnotes to span the two columns at the bottom of the page.
Any way to do this?
i tried it, but there seems to be aproblem in Indesign CS5.5? the numbers seems to be renumbered, and the original numbers disappear, leaving the first word of the footnote in superscript instead of the number.
but apart from that it works...
Anybody have tricks for getting these footnotes - with correct numbers into this fabulous separate story like the script says?

InDesign cs5 crashes whenever I try to alter the footnote formatting by going to Type > Document Footnote Option > and then I try to select a Paragraph style I've already set up. The Paragraph style I need to use includes Span Columns, which I think may be the issue. I think this because when I then I tried to create a new document and re-import the styles, it won't even let me add Span Columns feature to the Paragraph Style in question.
I can send screen shots of everything (e.g. dialog boxes) if that would be helpful in understanding the issue I'm having.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.It does require running a script to accomplish what you want. Here's the one usually recommended:

Urgh, another one that is bugging me.
Can anyone get keep options to keep across pages for spanned columns.
The headings should keep with the body text, but I have headings that split across pages, which is not a good look.
For the moment I'm manually keeping them together by inserting page breaks.BobLevine wrote:

Spanning columns in a grid messes up column widths
Hi. I've been struggling with some layout issues when using
column width percentages with the Flex Grid control. It seems that
if I add a column that spans 2 or more columns, the column widths
of the entire grid are altered. The strange thing is that the
column widths are changed only if the text in the colspan column
exceeds the width of the text in cells above or below it. Please
see the code sample at the bottom of this message for a
demonstration (I can't seem to find a way to "attach code").
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Span column doesn't work for me?
Hey guys
I'm not sure if there's another question/thread about this issue I have. I've tried searching but didn't give me good results.
Basically, I've received an IND file from my client. The main heading paragraph style has span column (across all) setup already. But according to my client, for some reason, it doesn't work. I've tried fixing but I can't tell what caused it.
The main heading is a numbered-list heading. Would this cause the span column not working?
The setting is pretty straight forward, with span set to across all columns and space after span set to 15mm (space before is 0mm).
If I can get some direction to how to rectify this that would be fantastic because I've got a number of reports to typeset using this template.
Thanks guys.
Cheers
LeanneNever mind. I figured out what was the problem.
It only works if all the text in one text frame with columns. -
CS4 messing up span column layouts from idml
Hi,
I've tried searching for this, and although I'm sure there must be topics discussing the issue, I can't seem to find any. Please point me in the direction if this has featured already.
I've got a large 400page document created in CS6 that uses the span columns feature throughout. After the document was signed off the client requested a copy. They're having issues opening it in CS4 where tables that span columns are messing up the layout. I wondered if it was an issue going from CS6 to 4, so I opened in CS5.5 and created imdl files from there but they are still having the same issues.
Is this fixable? Hopefully without installing scripts etc as my client is not an experienced Indesign user and I'm unable to work from his machine.MrJono wrote:
I guess it's not surprising that adobe haven't created a solution to this problem when the easiest way to solve it is buy upgrading.
That's an awful assumption in which to make where you have no authority on the subject.
http://in-tools.com/article/whats-with-back-save-to-earlier-versions-of-indesign/
Although I do agree with you to a certain stance.
What should Adobe do with a 2 column layout that has a heading set to Span?
Should it remove the Span from the heading - then anchor a text frame across the two columns, make a wraparound for the text frame, anchor it neatly, add back in the text to the style and account for overset text?
Or should it make it all the text in the 2 column layout into a 1 column layout, then convert the text in the body to a 2 columned anchored frame that sits underneath the heading? How will it adjust for anchored text frames that flow across pages (because InDesign can't really do an anchored text frame that flows between pages unless you've premade the text frames, flowed the text, adjusted the sizes, grouped them then added them as an anchored frame within a text frame then move them around the text frame until satisified with the position.
Then what will it do with the dozen other updates that you may or may not have used like "Keep With Previous" - how should InDesign handle that in CS4? What about Line Styles and Grep Styles? How should it handle that?
No - the solution has always been that you and your client work on the same *version of InDesign* on the files at all times.
*edit*
If they just want a Word File then you can use a very simple script export your version to Word.
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html
This will convert any indesign files in a folder to whatever file format you want, inlcluding RTF which can be opened in Word. -

Can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor
Hi
can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor??
DECLARE

IS
SELECT Empno, Ename

BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(10)

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;
In the above Program, I send Deptnumber. If i send Column names like Empno, Ename. What can i do??
If Declare Samething Through Parameter Cursor, it doesn't accept VARCHAR2(Size)For parameters you don't use size, just the type (DATE, NUMBER, VARCHAR2, CLOB, ...)
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Ename VARCHAR2)

Edited by: Ram Vungarala on Sep 24, 2008 9:15 AMHi,
I'm not sure if I understood what are you trying to do. But you can modify your table in a backing bean code. JSF page code for a table:
<af:table id="product_search_results_tbl" binding="#{backingBean.boundTable}" ... />
And a backing bean code:
import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.data.CoreTable;
public class YourBackingBean {
private CoreTable boundTable;
public void setBoundTable(CoreTable boundTable) {
this.boundTable = boundTable;
public CoreTable getBoundTable() {
return boundTable;
public String insertButtonAction() {
// Bind your button action to this method and modify here your bound table
return null;
{code}
Look for column modification methods in a CoreTable class documentation.

Span columns problem with Table of Contents order
Hello,
I'm having a strange issue with headings that span columns and Table of contents order. My document has a heading paragraph in a coloured box, which is then inserted in-line into a 2-column text box. The paragraph style for the box (set to in-line) is set to span all columns, so that the 2-columned text doesn't get messed up.
When I create a table of contents, the Heading style that is inside the coloured box is being picked up fine, but even though it is inserted before the headings below it, it is showing up after the level 2 headings, instead of before.
I have confirmed that the insertion of the blue bar is before the text below it, as when I remove the span columns option, the TOC works as it is supposed to. Is this a bug?Hi there, thanks for the reply.
The only way I could move the inline box to the left was to make a custom anchor and change the X value, this did not affect the TOC unfortunately. I also checked the location of the invisible marker indicating the location of the inline text box, and it is definitely before the heading that follows. I confirmed this by removing the span columns option for that paragraph, and the TOC displayed properly after doing that, meaning there is likely some problem with the span columns option not properly recognizing the order of content.

Can we hide column in a query depending upon the variable selected
Hi all,
let us say my report have 10 column.
now i am giving user option to select the values (let us say 'a' or 'b')
columns must be displayed depending upon the value selected by user ..
for example if user has selected 'a' then first five columns should be displayed..and if user has selected 'b' last five column should be displayed..(it will be OK even if we can hide the columns depending upon the selection )
Is it possible in BEx...please let me knowI did it sometime back. A bit complicated process.
Create an infoobject, manually enter the values "keyfig1" and "keyfig2".
Include this infoobject in the filters and restrict it using a "ready for input" variable.
Now create two formula variables.
Write a customer exit such that when you select "keyfig1", first formula variable's value should be set to 1 and other one's to 0.
Then in the query create two calculated key figures, multiply both with the formula variable. Also supress column (all active value == 0).
Then it will show the key figure which you have selected.

How can a 2 column text frame be split into 2 separate text frames?
Hi InDesigners,
I have a 12 spread (22 page) document that was originally created with a single column primary text frame in CS6. It contains text and anchored images throughout the doc. (images are anchored to the text frame).
My client now wants each page split into 2 columns, but the columns need to have different widths - the left column needs to be narrower than the right. Although I can create 2 columns in a single frame, it's not possible to adjust the column widths separately, so I need to get them into 2 separate frames.
Is there a way to convert a 2 column text frame into 2 separate text frames, so I can resize the column widths invididually?
kind regards,
-chi, Thanks for the replies,
The doc size is 8.5"x11", with 1/2 " margins. I never mentioned anything about it being a book. (It's just a paper my client wrote and woud like a PDF of it). The reason for the uneven columns is he wants the images to be 4" wide. For some reason, he wasn't keen on just a single column with text wrapped around the pix. I proposed making a 3" left column threaded into a 4" right col with a .5" gutter between them and he wants it that way.
Thank you both for your respones. I'll try the script

Spanning Columns, Messes TOC Order
Hello
I have earlier posted a thread with my problem. See: Re: TOC Problem, Wrong Order, Connected/Unconnected Text Frame
Now when the problem is tracked down (spanning of columns) I choose to create a new thread hoping that someone has encountered the same problem and has a possible solution. (Using CS 6)
The problem:
I have chapters (H1) with sub-chapters (H2). The text is flowing freely between the chapter text-frames, until a new chapter (H1) starts. The chapter title (H1) spans over all columns, defined in its paragraph style.
When creating a TOC I have found that if a sub-chapter (H2) is above a new chapter (H1) the spanning column function messes up the TOC order. See chapter 1:4 in my example.
The problem may be bypassed by doing one of the following things:
Disable the column span of H1. E.i the chapter heading in a single column messes up the original layout.
Connect all text frames. E.i, flow text thru all text-frames, may become a problem when rearing the chapter order.
Remove the text-frame connection of the text-frames….
None of these solutions are sufficient. I have never during my 13 years with Indesign encountered such showstopper/bug.Thanks for your replay.
The numbers is written text to make it easier to comprehend the example. These are not auto-generated.
In the other thread I had got some response:
"When the textframe flows from an even page number to an uneven page number the problem (like from page 2 to page 3) the TOC is incorrect.
But when the textframe flows from an uneven page number to an even page number (like from page 3 to page 4) the TOC is correct."
Which does not make any sense at all.
