Can table styles be mapped to Word?

I used one of the RH table styles for many of my tables; however, when I create the Word document, the tables do not appear correctly. Short of going into the Word document and correcting the numerous tables, is there a way to map tables?

It depends on the version of RoboHelp you are using. It can be done in RoboHelp 9 as explained in the sample projects.
Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.
Please also see the Sticky Topic "Before you Post" and always start posts with the edition and version of RoboHelp being used.
Come back if still stuck.

Table styles in RH don't transfer to Word 2010

In RH, I have defined a table style called top-row-shaded, and have mapped this style for delivery to Word, in word-template.dot file. All RH tables of style top-row-shaded shoud map to my Word template style top-row-shaded, but they don't.
Does anyone kmow a fix?
If not, does anyone have a word macro that can convert my tables to the top-row-shaded style in the Word file?
My RH file has another table style (called no-border) that I don't want to convert, so I can't simply apply the style to all tables in the Word file.
Thanks, Joanne

Without setting up a test, I'm not sure why the tables are not mapping. By all means see the Contact page on my site and send me a one topic project and the Word template. I will take a look but it will be at least a week or so before I can.
Meantime there is a macro on my site that will need editing that will find each table and then allow you to apply changes or skip to the next table.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

What application are you running? Please ask this in the forum of the product you're using.

Can this be done with table styles?

Hello,
Can someone tell me if this table layout is possible to achieve with table styles? Specifically the first column being slightly darker is proving a problem with the alternating rows, I feel like I need a 'column style' option but there isn't one (in CS5) that I can see. Thanks very much.

Sans cell styles, this Javascript adds 20% to the tint of cells in the very first column for each table. It does not change header rows (and on 2nd thought, maybe it shouldn't do footer rows either).
.. Without trying, I couldn't tell what happens with complickated merged cells. The document I'm working on contains 8 tables, but the idiotic author pasted them as figures into Word. All of my scripting prowess can't work around that ...
tables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
for (t=0; t<tables.length; t++)
processTable (tables[t]);
function processTable (table)
var i, cells = table.columns[0].cells;
for (i=table.headerRowCount; i<cells.length; i++)
cells[i].fillTint += 20; // percentage to add

SAML AS JAVA user mapping. Can table VUSREXTID On AS ABAP be leveraged?

The documentation on the SAML AS java user mapping refers to Mapping SAML Principals to SAP J2EE Engine User IDs - User Authentication and Single Sign-On - SAP Library custom development. In my case the users are managed on the AS ABAP system. Can I leverage the ABAP mapping mechanism using VUSREXTID, similar to the user mapping on the ABAP AS Mapping SAML Principals to AS ABAP User IDs - User Authentication and Single Sign-On - SAP Library without building my own java program?

We have developed a login module which is working with Kerberos auth, not x.509 auth, but still solves a very similar problem to the problem you are describing. As you know, when SNC is used to logon to ABAP stack, the SNC name of the user is mapped onto a SAP user via entries in the USRACL table. Our mapping login module takes the authenticated user principal name from the shared state and uses this to lookup the entry in USRACL table on ABAP stack, and from this it will know which SAP user to use, and can update shared state with this info so that CreateTicketLoginModule will created an SSO2 ticekt for the mapped SAP user id.
This means that mapping of users externally authetnicated identity onto SAP user/client can be managed in one place, e.g in ABAP stack using USRACL table entires and su01 t-code etc.
I know it is not exactly what you wanted, since you are looking to use x.509 certifiates instead of Kerberos authentication, but I thought it was worth sharing so that you know the concept has already been implemeneted many times. Many of our customers use this login module when they have our product, for the same reasons that you have stated.
Thanks,
Tim

3EA4 -- can not run SqlDeveloper report to "table" style

The same SqlDeveloper report, which was/is working in 3EA3 - same Oracle user, same privileges, same platform, same connection, same Java version, same same ... can not run the report to the "table" style. It works only with the "Script" style. So, betwen EA3 and EA4 something changed. No work around, just lost capability.
note: I tried many SqlDeveloper reports that were working in the "table" style - none of them works in the "table" style anymore with EA4 - that really is not cool :(
Here is one of those reports:
SELECT
   object_name "Object_Name",
   object_type "Object_Type",
   CASE OBJECT_TYPE
      WHEN 'PACKAGE BODY' THEN 'alter package ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile body;'
      WHEN 'SYNONYM'      THEN 'CREATE PROCEDURE ' || OWNER||'.tmp_compile_synonym AS BEGIN EXECUTE immediate ''alter synonym ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile''; END tmp_compile_synonym;'||chr (10) || '/'||chr (10) || 'EXECUTE ' || OWNER||'.tmp_compile_synonym;'||chr (10) || 'DROP PROCEDURE ' || OWNER||'.tmp_compile_synonym;'
      ELSE 'alter ' || lower (OBJECT_TYPE) || ' ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile;'
   END "Compile_Statement"
FROM dba_objects
WHERE owner=upper(:OWNER)
AND status = 'INVALID'
ORDER BY object_type;Note: Reverted to EA3 until the problem is idenfied/solved

ok, I did update to JDK 1.6_24 , edited the jdk file under .sqldeveloper to point to the correct JDK version and invoked the 3EA4 from the command line:
raisin:~/sqldeveloper3EA4$ ./sqldeveloper.sh -J-Xmx1024m
still having the issue. None of the "table" style reports work.
So, something definitely changed in EA4 that broke the "table" style reports (at least in my case).
I am using the same "thin" connections that I created before (it picked it up from the .sqldeveloper settins). Did anything change for the thin jdbc connection in EA4 compared to EA3 ? I looked at the change list and don't see it there. I saw bug 09883309 reported here: 3.0 final+EA4: Doesn't work with 11.1 OCI/Thick driver , but don't think it has anything to do with the problem I am seeing - I don't use OCI, but jdbc thin. I wonder if there is a problem with 11.2.0.2 jdbc thin in EA4 and my database server version (10gR2 base version on RHEL 4).
But if Jim doesn't have the problem with the same JDK version and "almost" the same platform - maybe the database server version is an issue ? All I know, these reports (table style) was/is working with the EA3 - but not in EA4 .
When I run the report - the execution window does not display anything - all grey - then if I click on the green arrow (go/run) button, I see the following exceptions in the terminal from which I invoked the sqldeveloper:

Can't "Define default table style"

I am trying to define how a new table gets inserted into my document. I can set the header text formatting, table body formatting, table text etc just fine, go to format>advanced> define default table style but I cannot seem to get the table borders the way I want.
I am trying to have ONLY horizontal table borders appear on a newly inserted table. It seems you only have a choice of ALL borders or NO borders in the table body... not any variation in-between.
Anybody seen this issue or know of a workaround?

Okay, did everything you suggested: Cleared caches, rebooted, checked disks, permissions, etc. (all was fine as I am very meticulous about keeping my Mac in a pridstine state... no junk, hacks, minimal 3rd party bits etc.)
This is what I did:
1 Launch pages
2 Choose blank template
3 Type a few letters of text
4 Save file
5 Insert table
6 Click outside table, then once on table so that it has the four square "handles"
7 Pages Graphic Inspector - change stroke to none
8 Click the horizontal lines button in table inspector
9 Graphic Inspector - change Stroke to the line
10 Click outside table, then once on table so that it has the four square "handles"
11 Format>advanced> define default table
12 Table lines re-appear
13 adding a new table shows all lines, not just horizontal
I tried with different templates (Blank, CV, etc)
I created a new user and tried it there
This occurs both on a 20 inch iMac and a 12' 867 Powerbook. It's strange that other people can apparently do it and I can't.

Create a new table style based on an existing table in a document

Hi,
In a document I'm working on, there is a specific table. It is made in the past by a colleague, and it has a very suitable format.
Therefore I would like to use the layout of this table on all future tables in my document (or even in others).
Is there an option to select my table, and create a new table style with it, so that I can use it over and over again? That would be very helpful.
I'm working in MS Word, MS Office Professional Plus 2010, on a Windows 7 64-bit OS.
Best regards, Sietske
Ps.: I know
a question like this was already asked, but the answer was quite dissatisfying (because it was not answering the question)
Pps: Note that I'm now creating a new table style from scratch, so an answer to the above question is not that urgent, but it would still be nice to know for future use.

you can use format painter
i hope that you already know about it.
Nope, not the right answer. With Format Painter, you can copy the format of the table, but you can't create a new Table Style with it. I am looking for a solution as well.

Table style doesn't display when viewed or when project is published

I'm running RH8 (with RH8 Server). The table style no longer displays when viewed or when published. I checked the table style of the same project (but older version) and the styles to me looked the same. It displayed fine last week (famous last words), but this week something changed. Can anyone help?
The tablegradient.jpg can be seen in the project (image A), but when I view (eyeglasses), or if I open a published project, it doesn’t (image B).
Image A
Image B

I really do not know what has caused this but in your situation I would be looking at the CSS for the table now and when it worked.
After that I would probably create a new project and create the same setup afresh. That can often identify the cause of problems like this.
Sorry I don't have anything more constructive.

Why doesnt applies table style?

Give, pls a hint (again ;))
I plan to format table entirely (table style, all cells style, para body style, para header style and cell header style)
I stared with:
Set MyInd = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
Set myDoc = MyInd.ActiveDocument
Set myPage = myDoc.Pages.Item(1)
MyInd.Paste '(get clipboard from word-table)
Set myStory = myDoc.Stories.Item(1)
Set myParagraph = myStory.Paragraphs.Item(1)
Set myTable = myParagraph.Tables.Item(1)
On Error Resume Next 'for debugging purpose
myTable.Rows.Item(1).RowType = idRowTypes.idHeaderRow
On Error GoTo 0
'myTable.AppliedTableStyle = "Table Style Body"
i work, but don't overrides
'myTable.AppliedCellStyle = "Table Style Body" '''the same
myTable.ApplyStyle "Table Style Body", True
i override, but "OBJECT DOESNT support!"
myTable.ApplyStyle "Cell Style Body", True 'the same
How to apply table style to whole table? (how to script correctly?)
Thanks

Yes.
I wrote like this:
kk = myTable.Columns.Count
With myTable
Call .Cells.ItemByRange(.Cells.Item(1), .Cells.Item(-1)).Item(-1).ClearCellStyleOverrides
Call .ClearTableStyleOverrides
Set mySel = .Cells.ItemByRange(.Cells.Item(1), .Cells.Item(-1)).Item(-1) 'for all table
Set mySelH = .Cells.ItemByRange(.Cells.Item(1), .Cells.Item(kk)).Item(-1) 'for only header
End With
myTable.AppliedTableStyle = "Table Style Body"
mySel.AppliedCellStyle = "Cell Style Body"
mySelH.AppliedCellStyle.AppliedParagraphStyle = "Table body"
mySelH.AppliedCellStyle = "Cell Style Head"
mySelH.AppliedCellStyle.AppliedParagraphStyle = "Table Head"
So we can apply parastyles only for object "cell", not for "table"?
So we must have specified range of cells for working with?
Thanks.

Table Styles - Automatic Format Header (only)

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Table Style to look like the following
Header A
Header B
Header C
Example 1
XX
XX
XX
Example 2
XX
XX
XX
Example 3
XX
XX
XX
I have the following Paragraph Styles set up:
Header - (Header A, B, C) centre aligned. Bold Arial 10pt
Left Column - (Example 1, 2, 3) Left aligned Arial Regular 10pt
Body - (XX) Centre aligned Arial Regular 10pt
These are linked to Cell Styles in their appropriate places
The Left Column is automatically applied, as is the Body Rows. The problem is that I have to tell the Header to apply the Header Cell Style
Is this possible to automate?
Thanks,

If the table was originally a Word doc, the Word table can be set to be a header in Word. This could be honored as it places into the InDesign file.
If the table was originally an Excel file, the Excel file does not have the ability to nominate the top row as header in advance of placing it into InDesign. This creates a manual moment.
Too bad you cannot set the header in the Show Import Options as you place it! This means you are often stopping to manually adjust/nominate the header row manually.
More pain: if you refresh the link to the Excel spreadsheet, you have to reset the header row manually again.
Maybe you can throw a script at it:
Table: convert first row to header rows

Min. row height table style

A new table in Indesign is by default set with a minimum row height of 1.058 mm. This 'minimum' feature is also visible in a table style (the 'exact' feature is not for some reason). When I import a table from Word for example, it's row height might be different. For example a certain row had a height of 25 mm. So I applied the cell style to it where I set the 'min' rowheight to 1.058 mm. However, the row height still remains 25 mm. This doesn't only happen to imported tables. I've inserted a new table in indesign. This had a row height of 1.058 by default. Then I dragged a row heigher to 40 mm for example. Then I applied the cell style again with 'min' set to 1.058. The row height should turn to 1.058 but it remains 40 mm. Why can't I apply a rowheight in a cell style? Now I have to convert a table to text and then back to table again to get the default rowheight back.

If you want to force it to be a certain height, you should change "At Least" to "Exactly." "At Least" does just what it says it does—it sets a minimum for the row height, but lets the max vary. It should like you want to rows to be "exactly" a certain height, even if it causes text to become overset.
You should also be able to change your defaults when you have no documents open if you prefer it to work differently.

Table style alignment ignored?

TCS 2.0, linking FrameMaker 9 (unstructured) files to RH8.
My FrameMaker files have several one-cell right-aligned tables. I mapped all the tables to a table style called "Product" in RoboHelp.
The table properties in style mapping are set to be right-aligned for this table. However, the table continues to display as left-aligned in the preview and the output.
I am not very knowledgeable about css but decided to edit the css for this table to specify right-aligned.
Here is my css entry for this table style:
table.Product {
        align: right;
        font-size: 10pt;
        text-align: right;
The table is still left-aligned.
Looking at the HTML view for the table, there is this line:
<?rh-align_start align="left" ?>
When I manually change "left" to "right," my table is right aligned and looks the way I want. This rh-align_start property seems to be something that is not in the css or is overriding the css.
I can also right-click on the table and select right-aligned from the table properties, which accomplishes the same thing. However, I have thousands of these tables and need an automated solution.
Is this a RH bug? How can I make this table style right-aligned?
Thanks,
Alexandra

Hi Michael,
that was the solution - thank you for your help! Adjusting this setting (which by the way is named "DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=On" in my case) resolved the correct line breaking. The maker.ini is full of miracles.
