Difficulty with tables inside of tables formatting

I'm using BIP and doing a repeating group so that the first column of my report is suppressed. This results in 2 or 3 rows based on the first column grouped together. The table wizard does this by inserting a table inside a table. Unfortunately i can't get my headers on the outer table to line up with the columns on the inner table. Word allows me to set a "preferred width" on table columns and cells but i really want it fixed to combat my problem. Also, the inside table seems to have cell padding between it and the outer table, but i don't see any Word settings to configure this. I've saved the HTML source and don't see any cellpadding tags either.
I'd be happy to provide the XML and .RTF if someone could take a look.
Thanks.

If I'm not wrong your problem seems to be some what metioned in Tim's blog about group left or group right..
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/05/left_up_down_right_group.html
All you have to do is to play around with the table properties of both table (outer and inner). Try to decrease the cell margins(Right click on table--->table properties-->options) for both left and right margins of the tables.

Problem with table formatting

I'm having a lot of problems with tables not reflecting their formatting when I open them in a browser. I've tried opening in Safari, Firefox & Camino with the same results. For example, a row with the following html content has a much larger height & aligns the text to the top when opened in a browser:
<tr>
          <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
          </td>
        </tr>
If it matters, this is a row in a table nested in another table. Here's the code down to the row in question (all tags are closed properly in the remaining code):
<table width="600" border="2" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/events.jpg" width="250" height="35"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="left" valign="top">
      <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
          <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
          </td>
        </tr>
I am using a style sheet for text. Here's the code for "h6" if that matters:
h6 {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #660099;
Any ideas is appreciated. This is driving me nuts. Spacing and alignment sometimes work and sometimes don't work. Dreamweaver is supposed to make such things easier!
Kevin

Header tags are usually used round a bit of text, not parts of a table, and if you don't specify the margins on them, can force different amounts of space below in different browsers. Try making the bottom margin on h6 zero, and confine it to text within a cell.
Also, if you can upload your page somewhere and let us have the url it will be easier to troubleshoot.

Java corba ID CS5 7.0 Problem with table format import excel 2007 document

hello,
I want to import an excel 2007 document with a table into a textframe. This is the code to set import preferences:
ExcelImportPreference pref = aplicacion.getExcelImportPreferences();
pref.setTableFormatting(kTableFormattingOptionsExcelFormattedTable.value);
but when I insert the file into de texframe and export in a pdf file i lose the table format, always apply this format: kTableFormattingOptionsExcelUnformattedTabbedText.value.
This problem only happens with excel 2007. Excel 2003 files the import is ok.

Apart from iTunes (which I rarely update since we never use it) they both had a Java update, which I'm installing now but I can't imagine that's connected (plus they both didn't have it). Both Macs are 10.6.8.
I also repaired the permissions and cleaned caches on Friday. Today I created a new user/profile and tried the same thing on that. No luck.

Mif template problem with table formatting

I am trying to create a database driven Framemaker document via MIF. I have a problem trying to get my table formatting to work. The table tags and paragraph tags appear correctly in their respective designers but the values shown for font, shading, etc. are Frame defaults and not from my template unless I click on the tag drop down, reselect the same exact tag name and click apply. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?
Here is a snippet of the MIF for the main file:
<MIFFile 7.10> # File created on 4/30/2009 3:03:36 PM
include (AFrames.mif)
include (Tbls.mif)
include (template.mif)
<TextFlow
<TFTag `A'>
<TFAutoConnect Yes>
<TFFeather No>
<TFMaxInterLine 3.0 pt>
<TFMaxInterPgf 10.0 pt>
<Para
<PgfTag `Anchor'>
<ParaLine
   <ATbl 500>
> # end of ParaLine
> # End of Para
etc.
And here is a sample from the Tbls.mif file:
<Tbls
<Tbl
<TblID 500>
<TblTag `Item Table'>
<TblFormat
    <TblWidth 3.50000">
    <TblColumn
     <TblColumnNum 0>
     <TblColumnWidth 0.50000">
    >
    <TblColumn
     <TblColumnNum 1>
     <TblColumnWidthP 1>
    >
    <TblColumn
     <TblColumnNum 2>
      <TblColumnWidthP 1>
    >
    <TblColumn
     <TblColumnNum 3>
     <TblColumnWidth 0.50000">
    >
> # End of Format
<TblNumColumns 4>
<TblH
<Row
<Cell
   <CellContent
    <Para
    <PgfTag `Cell Head Left'>
    <ParaLine
    <String `Item No.'>
etc.

The include statements must appear in this order:
Put the template after the tables and the tables don't read the format.
Actually that does make sense to me (and I hate to say it, I remember now that I ran across this issue a million moons ago when first doing MIF export from a database).
In looking at the MIF includes order, in your first example:
include (AFrames.mif)
include (Tbls.mif)
include (template.mif)
all of the tables are being instantiated before FM has a chance to "analyze" the template section -- so there's no way it can say "aha, this is the FormatA that I already know" so that's why it puts the "star" on the format, indicating that it's an override to the table catalog format (and in fact there's no table format catalog yet, no table format names at all, so it's an "override to nothing" table.
In your successful document, the template includes the format for "FormatA", so when the tbls section comes along FM says "ah, ok, this is an instance of "FormatA" that I know already exists in the table catalog" so assuming there aren't any formatting changes in the instance of the table, it doesn't mark each table instance as a override to the named table format.
"include (aframes.mif)"
"Include (template.mif)"
"include (tbls.mmif)"

Trouble with tables - formatting

Is there a way to set up a template for tables within a
project - same size, borders, shading, that kind of thing? Can you
do this in the .css? I am kind of new to using .css, and mine is
pretty basic right now.
thanks, Leisa

Problem with tables -- need help!

I am having problems with table formatting, when using
Preformatted text. The tables look fine in the WYSIWYG editor, but
have lots of extra space above and below the text when looking at
the output files.
I will attach the code from one of the HTML files from my
project, so you can see what I'm talking about.
Thanks.

Well, if you're talking about the single-celled table with
the line:
<p class=Preformatted>[assembly:
Ace.AceAssembly]</p>
</pre>
... you can eliminate the <P> tags. that will give you
one line less. Otherwise, your remaining space is the result of the
<PRE> tag. It, like the <XMP> tag, gives it one line of
space beneath as well.
Your alternative beyond that would be to, when needed, wrap
up the script in Javascript. That line, for instance, wouldn't need
it.

Sending Email with Query Result (Table Format)

Hi,
I have a query result from ExecuteSQL task e.g.:
ID Product
1 Pencil
2 Crayon
3 Eraser
I want to send an email with the above query result and I want it to be in Table format (such as in Microsoft Word with rows and column lines) to allow better readability to the receiver.
Is it possible in SSIS?

Help with Importing Excel Data into Formatted Tables

This is my first post, here, so please be gentle!
I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I am creating a 70-pg manufacturer's price book. A very large portion of each page is going to be size and price information imported from a large Excel spreadsheet.
I have created the table format that I'd like to use for each page, but the trouble comes when I import the Excel data into that table. For some reason, when I import, it all dumps into one cell. Would it be best to import as an unformatted table, and then format the table each time, or is there a way to simply import the data into my pre-formatted table? I've seen how the former is done, but the latter seems much easier (...although that could be my inexperience talking).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Laura (V1500)

Thank you both so much for your time! This is exactly what I needed.
Cheers
Laura

Problem with Tables

InDesign CS5.5
Opening a blank document.
Creating 3 Paragraph styles: "Table Header" (bold font), "Table Footer" (italic font), "Table Body" (normal font).
Creating 3 Cell styles: "Header" (black fill), "Footer" (gray fill), "Body" (white fill).
Assigning Paragraph styles to the respective Cell styles.
Assigning Cell styles to a Table style called "[Basic Table]".
Creating a text frame.
Inserting a table: 4 rows, 2 collumns, 1 header, 1 footer. Table style: "[Basic Table]"
Result:
Header row/cells, Footer row/cells, and Body rows/cells all have proper color fills, but the cell styles for all of them is shown as "none", except the Footer row, which for some reason has "none+" style. Inspite of cell styles not being properly assigned automatically, the paragraph styles for Header and Body rows are automatically set correctly. But the footer row/cells is having the "Table Body" paragraph style assigned to it. Even manually assigning the "Table Footer" cell style to the footer row/cell does not pick up the paragraph style corresponding to that cell style.
If I choose "[No Table Style]" when creating a new table, and then assign the "[Basic Table]" style to it, all the rows/cells pick up proper paragraph style, but the cell styles are still set to "none".
Where does this magic come from? Will Adobe ever put their isht together and start making software that actually works for the amount of money it costs? Or are we forced to pay ridiculous prices for using beta software for the rest of our lives?

Aren't they set to "none" for the same reason as the Character Style Panel says "none" when the formatting of a character style is applied because it is specified as a nested style by a paragraph style? The formatting of the lower-level style is applied because the higher-level style is referenceing or "grabbing" it, but not the lower-level style itself. Such lower-level styles can be superimposed by explicitly applying them in the relevant style panel.
The interplay of styles and formatting involved with tables+cells+paragraphs are even trickier than the two levels of paragraphs and characters, because there is an even more complicated, multi-level "cascade" involved. A cell style's formatting (but not the style itself) is applied by the higher-level entity's style, and that formatting sets the lower-level entity's style itself. I would argue that that alternating pattern is logical, but maybe I'll attempt it some other day! The difficulty is compounded by various other factors, such as a paragraph style's "next style" automatically setting the following paragraph's style when a table is created.
The complexity of whole business makes me reluctant to call it a "bug", it's so easy to get lost here!

New table format in FM 8?

Why can't I define a new table format that includes static text and a static graphic in structured Frame 8? I can create a new table format, but it doesn't capture the static text that I defined. I need to create a NOTE table and a WARNING table format.

Thank you, Russ.
The autonumbering feature works well to set up the start of a note; for example, "CAUTION!" or "WARNING!," but I'd like to define several static notes that we use all the time. For example, "CAUTION!" Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive components. Use ESD-protective devices and procedures," and autonumbering isn't designed to place long text like that. It doesn't wrap it.
I tried to set up new table format by setting up a new icon paragraph style and a new text paragraph style (I drew a graphic frame on the reference page and placed a text box inside it and typed my long note. Then I set up a paragraph style based on that graphic frame ("frame above feature"). I then drew a two-column table, placed the icon paragraph in the first column and the graphic frame (with text) paragraph in the second column and saved it as a new table format. But when I insert that table format, I icon displays in both columns and the text is nowhere to be found.
At your suggestion, in the EDD, I did set up some new note types in the Note element and defined prefixes for each. In my FrameMaker topic file, I then added the note element and chose the esd attribute type, for example, and got my full note text to display. However, I also would like to display an icon to the left of my notes (warning, ESD, or radiation), and I don't know if I can set up something in my prefix in the EDD to help me do that?

Problem with cfdocument and background colors with table borders

i am having a great deal of difficulty with cfdocument

i am attaching sample code of the what generated the pdf in the

Hi fresher4flex,
Since you are using the item Renderer for the DataGrid Column try to apply the styles dynamically to the background of your itemRenderer by making using of the rollOver and rollOut events.

Layout adjustment not working with tables

Hi all
Why will layout adjustment not work with tables?
I am trying to re-format from A4 landscape to A4 portrait.
The text box containing the table will resize but not the table.
Any clues why this might be, I don't want to manually resize every table in the document.
Many thanks,
Rob

Thanks Jongware,
Having resized the table and got the little red ovals, I tried various things like changing the font size etc but the best workaround I found was to select the table and change the cell inset value to 0, this got rid of all red ovals and I didn't need to change the font size.
Cheers,
Rob

Multiple parallel loads into one table with TABLE LOCK option

Hi everyone:
We have several SSIS packages where each package has the basic design of having one sequence container. Inside each sequence container can be anywhere from 2 - 9 data flow tasks where for each data is selected from a different table but all 2-9 tasks do
an OLEDB fast load (with table lock option checked) into the same single destination table.
The number of rows were pulling from the various sources might be anywhere from 5 up to 100,000.
Right now this doesn't seem to be causing any issues, but I wanted to check to see if this set up (since we're doing a review) could potentially cause problems down the road?
We seem to think that each parallel task will acquire its data as normal, and just won't be able to insert until one of the other parallel tasks completes its fast load. To us, that's no big deal as we're at least able to acquire the data in parallel.
What are everyone's thoughts?
Thanks!

>>>We seem to think that each parallel task will acquire its data as normal, and just won't be able to insert
until one >>>of the other parallel tasks completes its fast load.
That is correct observation.
