Copy text in table cells Framemaker 10

I want to copy the content of several table cells in an other table of the same document. How can I do this so that the text is copied in several cells again and not all the content in only one cell?
Margot

Normally, just make sure you select the same array of cells in both source and destination table. If they don't match, geometrically, it may not work. This might happen, for example, if you have a straddle in one but not the other.
If the tables need to have identical content for some cells going forward, consider having the clone table's cells populate the shared cells with cross-references, by paragraph text, to the master table. Then if the master table changes, so does the clone.

Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

Mail.app: text in table cells in incoming formatted mail - problems replying

MacOS 10.9.2
mail.app 7.2, threading enabled
Sometimes I receive a formatted email that is really difficult to reply to, when I want to intersperse my reply text among the incoming paragraphs.
The trouble occurs when multiple incoming paragraphs are grouped. I can’t open up vertical space for my reply text inside the groups.
If I click anywhere in the group, mail.app marks the group with a surrounding rounded-corner grey rectangle, with a X-in-a-circle “close icon” at the upper left corner.
When I look at the raw source of the incoming message, I see that the groups correspond to table cells, that is, the sending mail client enclosed the paragraphs within a <td> … </td> pair.
The sending email client is sending me a table, for no clear reason — the group doesn’t correspond to anything obvious in the message thread.
I’m guessing we won’t ever know why some email clients group paragraphs like this, but I’d like to do my best to adapt, so I can keep up with my incoming email.
Yeah, I can ask my correspondents to use a different email client, or perhaps different settings in the same client, but except for the few tekkies among my correspondents, this isn’t really practical. I can also ask my clients to use unformatted messages, but THAT is a whole different issue, and frequently isn’t practical, either.
My questions:
Q1: What’s the point of the grey rectangle and the “close icon”? (Is this mail.app’s way of saying, “I received this crazy formatting, almost impossible to process, so I’m making it easy for you to just delete the whole mess”? Or what?)
Q2: Is there any SIMPLE way to untangle (modify or remove) these groupings within mail.app? (I guess I can access the raw html, copy-and-paste it into another app, modify it, and paste the results back into my reply. Yuck!)
Q3: Am I missing a really obvious work-around or fix?
TIA

In your question, you indicated that you are running Firefox 8. Is that correct? It might be difficult to diagnose issues with that version because most people have moved on to Firefox 12 (plus or minus 1 version). Can you upgrade?
It's hard to think of a reason that ordinary text or links in ordinary text would not display. For embedded images or videos, one possibility is a difference in the protocol, i.e., HTTP (not secure) versus HTTPS (secure).
Hopefully someone else will have a better guess (or actual knowledge!).
Regarding the blue lines in a message, that usually indicates the earlier message was forwarded a few times. I don't know whether Gmail will let you reformat that area or whether you have to clean it in another application (e.g., for plain text, in Notepad) and paste it back in.

Copy text from table to table issue

Using CS6 on PC Win 7 64bit
not noticed this before probably becasue I usually copy in from Excel or Word docs, but when I copy text from one table to another in a document its copying it as a nested table,
if I just copy a single cell then thats ok but anything else its placed as a table within the target table.
Probably something really obvious I've overlooked, but its driving me nuts
Have looked in prefs and Clipboard is set for just text, apart from that I cant see anything
thanks for any help you can give

Hi Bob
thanks for that speedy reply.
I've just been doing some testing and I'm not sure if the results I'm getting are how things should be.
I just called up one of my recent excel tables and did what I usually do, highlight from the top left cell to the bottom right hand corner cell, Ctrl-C
Excel table is always 11 column but the number of rows varies from week to week, from 50 or so to 250.
Opened an ID table template I use which width wise is the same amount of columns as my source excel file 11 columns, but only a few rows.
Place the cursor and highlight the first row in ID Ctrl-V, table is filled and it auto inserts more rows to the limit of the object box and then I just drag the table down to fill the page and then just click and drag the loaded cursor to create more table space on the next page if needed, nice and simple.
Just opened a new table with 6 rows and 4 columns
and tried to paste into a table with 2 rows and 4 columns expecting it to automatically fill and give me the overfill red icon on the frame but it doesnt
but it does with text from outside of ID, I just tested it, it automatically fills all the table and adds rows until the object fram is ful and then I can just use the overfill facility to increase the table size
Seems odd that this only works with externally copied material

Multi-coloured text in table cell

I have a table where individual cells can have multi-coloured text. To do this I use html when I set the text in a cell renderer. It works fine. However, when the column width is too narrow for the text then the text is wrapped. If the text is not html then the text is not wrapped.
How can I keep the different colours but make sure the text is not wrapped?
Thanks

I never want the text to wrap even if the column width is too small for the text.
If the text of the renderer was set to abcdefghijklmnand the column is only large enough to show the first 10 chars then the user (obviously) would only see the first 10 chars.
If I now set the text to <html>abcdefghijklmn</html> then, assuming the column is wide enough, the user will see all the text but cde is shown in red.
However, if the column width is now changed so there is only room to show the first 10 chars then the user will only see abcde not as I would hope abcdefghij

Text Field over Text in Table Cell

When I drag a new text field to a table cell that contains text the field automatically fills the cell and overwrites the text. Can I put a field over the text in a specific position and how do I do it? (See Screen shot)

Thank you for the idea bruce. I did try that and tried it again just now. I've attached a screenshot of the result. It fills the cell and gives me a blue outline with no resizing nodes. I must be missing something on how to resize the subform. Any more ideas?

Dragging Text in Table Cell

In older versions of Pages, dragging text from a table cell into another table cell would cause the 2 cells to swap text. In '09 the dragged text overwrites the text in the cell it's dropped into. Is there a way to go back to the old way?

No not that I know of.
I have tried all the possible keyboard combinations and none do what you want.

Styled Text in Table Cell

Hi,
I've got this problem: I'd like to insert a styled text in some cells of a JTable.
The text should be composed of two kinds of Font, to emphasize some characters in it.
Suppose I've done a class Test, that extends JPanel. In this class I've done a method appendChar(String c, boolean bol). With this method I can add a JLabel with only a single char (String of length 1) at a time. If bol is true, it emphasizes the char; if false, it uses the "default" font. For example:
"this is an example"
This class works fine, but I don't have any idea on how I could be able to insert a Test instance in a JTable cell.
I think I should create a class that implements TableCellEditor, or extends DefaultCellEditor.. but I don't know how this should be done.
If there is some other way to have some styled text in a table cell, tell me!

Hi,
AFAIK, the default renderer for a table cell is a JLabel in which you can display styled text using html. You would need to provide a custom editor only if the default textfield doesn't fulfil your needs. For rendering, you need to override the renderer.
Cheers,

Inserting text into table cells in Powerpoint

Hi
I have a named table ClientInfo on Slide 3 in Powerpoint. How can I programmatically insert text into the table's cells?
Thanks
Regards

Hi Yahya,
What did you mean named table? Did you mean the name of shape?
If I understood correctly, we can use table object to manipulate a table shape on a slide. And here is a sample to insert text into the first cell for your reference:
Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(3).Shapes("ClientInfo").Table.Cell(1, 1).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Hello"
Also here are some helpful links for learning PowerPoint developing:
How do I... (PowerPoint 2013 developer reference)
Object model reference (PowerPoint 2013 developer reference)

[CS2-JS] Error when inserting some text in table cell via XMLElement

I have a very very strange InDesign behaviour when using XMLElement in a table Cell to insert a string.
For example (in a table that has an XML structure) :
var cell = table.cells[0];
var cell_xe = cell.associatedXMLElement;
var newtag_xe = cell_xe.xmlElements.add("mytag", null);
// Up to now, no problem
// Then I use only one of these following instructions at a time :
newtag_xe.contents = "existe en 4,57 x 1,07 m"; // Gives an InDesign error "Object is invalid"
newtag_xe.contents = "existe en 4,57 x 1,07 "; // Works fine
I have a lot of other examples of that kind (not only failing on the last character). InDesign accepts (randomly, it seems) some strings and rejects some others, and no logical rule seems to emerge.
Anyone with the same problem ?

Hi Cyril,
re: "This is where I think InDesign is really not fair : myTextFrame.tables.length == 0 if the table cannot be seen because of vertical overflow !!!"
I disagree. If the table does not appear in the text frame, then it shouldn't be in the text frame object. If the table appeared as a child of the text frame when it does nto appear in the frame (when it might have moved to another text frame in the story), it would be even more confusing.
This points out the danger of relying on the text frame as the container--instead, use the parent story of the text frame, which will contain all of the text in the story, regardless of whether it's visible or not.
Thanks,
Ole

Copy text from multiple cells

How do I copy the text (cell contents, not cell) in multiple cells (all at once)?
I am trying to cut and paste the text from a Numbers table (actually an Excel file opened in Numbers) to a text box in InDesign to create an InDesign table.
When I select multiple cells and Command 'C', I copy the cells not the content.
It was easy in Excel... but I am trying to avoid installing 'Office' on my new MacPro!
Help much appreciated.

It's handy sometimes to be able to copy cells from Numbers and paste them in other applications, where they appear just as they do in Numbers. Numbers does that well.
If you just want the content of the cells as text, you could use an AppleScript. That would not be complicated to write..
But first, does InDesign have an Edit > Paste Special (or similar) menu choice where you can tell it to accept the pasted material as unformatted text? One sees that in Word, for example:

Cannot rotate text in table cell

I am using LiveCycle Designer 8. I want to rotate the text in the top row of a table so that the text is displayed vertically. I have created a simple 3 column, 2 row table. I select one of the cells in the top row (I click in the cell and the cell borders are highlighted). When I go to the "Layout" tab the "Rotate to 90", "Rotate to 180" and "Rotate to 270" buttons are "active" (meaning they are not greyed out and when I click on them, they move just as you would expect a button to move). The problem is that the cell does not rotate when I click on any of those three buttons. It's as if Designer simply ignores my click.
Since I am relatively new to Designer, my first question is: am I going about this correctly? If not, how do I rotate text vertically in a table? If I am doing it correctly, what can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Tim, you're not doing anything wrong. That was a bug in Designer 8 that has since been fixed. To get around your problem, try manually adding rotate="90" to that particular cell in the XMLSource. So you would have something like: <draw w="30mm" h="22.2238mm" name="Cell1" rotate="90"> Steve Adobe Systems

Multiline text in table cell

Hi all,
I have used the oracle as the database.
My tabel consists of some columns.
Eg: 3 cols are there for name and father name
Iam displaying the data using the Table Model.
But I want to have the name and father name in a single cell
like:
name
father name
micheal
Mr. Johnson
name and father name is the heading which should be in a single cell
michael and Mr. Johnson are the values which should be in a single cell
How can I do this?

Since you can't use the formatted UI elements, you will need to remove the XHTML formatting. I would suggest perform text replacement and removing the

completely and replacing the

with cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
Try that with the textView. If the carriage return isn't used in the text view, you might swap the UI element to a disabled textEdit UI element instead.

Text in table cells as links to open a new document

I am using cs 5.5 on a mac.
I have a table in an introduction chapter that is an 8 by 8 table. Each of the 64 cells of the table contain a number. That number is the appropriate chapter for them to read and each chapter is a separate document in a book.
I would like to find a way that if a person clicked on that number (in the pdf exported document) that the reader would be directed to that appropriate chapter.
I hope this is easier than it sounds.

Cross-references or hyperlinks can do this, though you'd have to create the 64 links manually.
