Flow table cells across collums

I have this table with cells and in that cells alot of content (text) aslong as the text flows on one page as soon als the text of one cell flows across two page there is no content anymore.
I think this has to do with cell text is not allowed to flow across collums.
can some one help me?

That's exactly what it is. InDesign will not split a cell across a frame boundary or column

Flowing table rows across pages

Is there a way that when using tables you can flow rows across pages automatically like you can in MS word?
Thanks

ID splits tables only between cells rows, not mid-row, but it will certainly split a table between frames.

Can a Table Cell span more than one page?

I'm working with tables in Pages to create a list of literature and important takeaways from each article. Sometimes the important information is more than I can fit on one page. However, Pages doesn't seem to be able to handle splitting cells across multiple pages. Instead, it seems to "push" the overflow text beyond the page, so I can't even see it as I'm typing.
In Word, such situations just cause the table cell to continue on to the next page. But I can't figure out how to do that in Pages. (And I'm a little concerned that there's not a way to handle this.)
Thanks!
Gary

The cell in question does split across 2 pages. "Do I need to" do that isn't really the point.
My question was whether Pages can handle splitting a table cell across 2 pages.
Pages can't; Word can.
(I'm trying to switch over for all of my future work into Pages, so there's a learning curve for me. The type of work I'm doing does have cells that split over 2 pages. In Word, it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, in Pages, I need to split the row in order to do the same thing. Which is kind of a pain, since I'm building the table dynamically and may insert rows above, below or between existing rows. In Word, it automatically handles moving the cells across multiple pages - or merging them back if I edit the text or insert/remove rows above.)

Numbering Across Table Cells

Hello expert users, my first post here,
I have a table that has four columns. The cells in the first column should be numbered. I have set up a style with tiered numbers (which is the numbering I need). Each cell, however, carries number 1, although the option "Continue from previous" is selected. Does Pages not support numbering across table cells, does it restart numbering in each cell by default?

You didn't understand the way lists behaves.
They apply to a chunk of text.
A cell's contents is a chunk of text and the list tool may apply in a given cell.
You are trying to apply numbering to several cells.
They aren't A chunck of text but several ones.
The list tool treats them separately and logically it starts from 1 in evey chunck.
Numbering rows is quite easy if we take time to read the User Guide.
Type 1 in cell A1
Type 2 in cell A2
select both cells then drag to the bottom the circular handle available at bottom of cell A2.
With iWork '09 there is a new feature.
Type a1 in cell A1
select the cell and drag the circular handle to the bottom.
You will get
a1
a2
a3
a4

How to create a context menu in ALV table cell editor(Webdynpro abap )

Hello Experts,
I am having a problem in creating a context menu in a table cell editor in the ALV table output.I have assigned a 'lta' as the cell editor.But befor assigning the lta as cell editor I have assigned the menu to the lta.But when the view is rendered I can see the lta with the actioned assigned to it.But I cannot see the context menu.
The code snippet below:
"Create menu for each coloumn
create OBJECT lo_menu_actions type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU EXPORTING
      id = 'MITM_ACTIONS'.
lo_menu_actions->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_actions->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'ACTIONS' ).
"ADd menu items
CREATE OBJECT lo_menu_item_create type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU
exporting
    id = 'MITM_CREATE_EXPRESSION'.
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'Create' ).
"Add item 1
lo_menu_actions->ADD_ITEM( VALUE = lo_menu_item_create ).
" Set the cell editor for each column cell(link to an action)
LOOP AT lt_node_dec_tab_cols INTO ls_node_dec_tab_cols .
    lv_column_name = ls_node_dec_tab_cols-object_name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( lv_column_name ).
   "Create 'lta' Ui item
    CREATE OBJECT lo_lta TYPE cl_salv_wd_uie_link_to_action.
    lo_lta->set_menu( value = lo_menu_actions ).
    lo_lta->set_text_fieldname( lv_column_name ).
    lr_column->set_cell_editor( lo_lta ).
    IF ls_node_dec_tab_cols-is_result EQ abap_true.
      lr_column->set_cell_design( value =
                  cl_wd_table_column=>e_cell_design-key_medium ).
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Prakash,
I have not come across this requirement till now to have context menu in a cell editor of alv.
Unfortunately the implementation of method SET_MENU of alv ui elements ( ex: cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view ) is not updating alv configurable table, instead it just stores in a global attribute as string. Hence has no effect on context menu.
If your user is very particular about this requirement of having context menu in cell editor, you can go for a normal table. Because, normal table's cell editor has the property to set the menuID as we do it for other ui elements.

Rama

Carriage return in a WD table cell

Hi,
I have data in a table cell which I would like to present better by adding a carriage returns so that it appears on more than one line for example as bullet points.
I can format it using HTML but cant seem to be able to find out how to set encode to true for that cell.
Has anyone come across this problem before, or even have a simpler solution.
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil,
Check this Multiple Text lines in ONE row of a Table . On what SP level are you?

Table Cell Renderer Customization not working

I have a customized cell renderer that works wonderfully, it paints the background and text like it should, but I am also trying to paint a stripe like a 1 sided border across the top of the table cell, but (and this is the wierd part) only the first table column header is painting with this "stripe" on the top of it, every other column header and every other table cell do not paint with stripe on it. I print out the coords as I pass them to the graphics object to paint the line and the coords are correct, but the lines only show up in the first cell.
I have tried to put this code into the Renderer, and today I tried to put it into the UIComponent with the same result.
Relevant code:
// inner class for the renderer
private class LabelUI extends MetalLabelUI
public void paint(Graphics g,JComponent c)
// PAINT THE LABEL(RENDERER) USING THE NORMAL ROUTINE
super.paint(g,c);
// PICK A COLOR TO TEST THE CODE
g.setColor(Color.green);
// DUMP THE COORDS OUT TO CONSOLE
System.out.println("Drawing a line from :"+
c.getX()+","+(c.getY()+1)+","+
(c.getX()+c.getWidth())+","+(c.getY()+1));
// DRAW THE LINES
g.drawLine(c.getX(),c.getY()+1,c.getX()+c.getWidth(),c.getY()+1);
g.drawLine(c.getX(),c.getY()+2,c.getX()+c.getWidth(),c.getY()+2);
}

camickr- thanks for the input. I had tried a matte border yesterday in the renderer and the L&F object and couldn't get it to paint, but maybe I have something set elsewhere that is preventing it from painting, so I'll give that one another try. If I come up with an answer I'll be sure to post! -dohare
If I understand the question then take a look at the
HighlightCellRenderer class of this little
application. It uses vertical lines on certain
columns:

Table Cells Exploding in DWCS4

I didn't want to have to start another thread, as this stuff
gets embarrassing. But it looks like I'm at the end of my rope on
yet another issue, and really could use some help.
I have been working on cleaning up and converting an older
GoLive website to Dreamweaver. I've had several hurdles I've had to
come over, but today it looked like I was getting close to
finishing up, and promised the client I would provide the converted
files on Monday. Then something else started happening.
I was replacing several GoLive Components on each page with
the DW Library Items I had built. Things seemed to be going well,
then all of a sudden the Library items began causing the table
cells to explode and go clear across the page to who knows where. I
have been trying everything I know to fix them, but it seems to be
a losing battle.
What's interesting is that when I view the pages in GoLive or
a web browser, they are normal. It's only while working on them in
Design View with DWCS3 and DWCS4 that these table cells are
exploding to the right like this.

Making a single fix to the page (my recommended FILE |
Convert > XHTML 1.0
Transitional) will whack most of those right out....
Those errors are all just reflective of a mismatch between
the tag syntax
and the doctype. Make sure your page uses a doctype that is
consistent with
your coding ability - XHTML may not be the right choice for
you in this
case. Perhaps HTML4.01 Transitional would be a better one....

Break table row across multiple frames?

Hi
I would know wether is possible to split a single table row across serverla frames/pages.
I´m using InDesign CS5 and when I try to import a big table from word documments (by using de app or by scripting), if a row is bigger than the textFrame, a blank page is generated with the overflow simbol.
The only way to see that table is by enlarging the textFrame.
I´ve been reading about this problem, and some news in 2004 reported it was a problem wich will be solved in next releases.
Is there any way to work arround?
One option is to split de row in several small rows, but I think the proper solution would be to let the row jump to the next TextFrame (just like word does)
Thanks in advance

I can show you a real example.
http://www.xunta.es/dog/Publicados/2011/20110615/AnuncioC3F1-140611-3147_gl.pdf
In page 14984 the row with the text "Coruña" span across two pages. Well, in this example, what we did was to convert the table in images. Then the images were put inside each page in InDesign.
This cell is too big to fit in a frameText and it was shown as empty.
Other option would be to split the row before the imporation. In this way, InDesign would, automatically jump to the next page.
The question was if there was any configuration option to implement all this solutions (change the table or convert it to text) without change the table structure.
Any way, thansk again.

RoboHelp 7 to 9 : Table Cell Padding

HI All,
I very recently upgraded from TCS 1.3 with RoboHelp 7 to TCS 3.5 with RoboHelp 9. Yeay! All is good so far except one little niggle. . .
I use tables frequently in my source files to set out information. In RH7 I did this through Table > Insert > Table... Select number of rows and columns then click OK.
When I did this I could see that RH had automatically added padding to the table cells. If I added text into the cell there was a small gap between the table border and start of the text.
When I perform the same action in RH9, the padding appears to be missing (highlight a table cell and skip over to HTML view). I can't figure out how to add this automatically.It could get a little tiresome if I have to add it for each table cell from now on in order to be consistent with the tables already in my project. Manually adding a margin from the Table properties dialog appears to make no difference. Even when I set the margin to be outrageously huge, my text still butts right up against the table border.
So, does anyone know how I can set my table cells to automatically have the same padding as they did in RH7?
Any ideas or help are welcomed. Thanks guys!
Lil

Presumably, after reading the Table Styles topic in the help as well as your tour Peter, my existing tables stay as is unless I apply a table style to them but I have to create a style for any new tables I add into my project files?
Yes to all questions. At some point it may be worth converting your inline tables to CSS though so that future changes are just at CSS level.
You don't mention in your tour Peter whether the mapping issue across to printed documentation has now been fixed in RH9?
If you mean what I think you do, not that is still an issue.
Having attempted to create a table style, I'm now trying to work out why if I choose to apply formatting to the 'Whole Table' and set the borders to 'Solid', '1px', 'All Borders' and 'Silver', I get an outline around the whole table rather than all cells bordered. Confused?!!
The table editor is a nightmare. Whole table means the outer borders, not the whole table, as one might reasonably expect. I think the trick is to set borders for odd rows as top left and even rows as bottom right, something like that.

Table cells for imported picture of invoice

Hello,
I have watermark picture of invoice with fields. I have to align table cells with fields in the picture. I have problem that on the left side fields are different positioned than on the right side. When I want to move border of cell, all line across entire
page is moved. I want to move only border of the left cell. Also, when I want to split cell it is offered to me just numbers 1 and 11 (that is the number of cells on the other, right part of page.) How I can make this cell lines independent of what is on the
other side of page?

I found very useful option Design, Draw table, Eraser, and moving borders while holding ctrl key. But still sometimes it arranges lines in way that I don't want.

How to replace table cell elements position

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i have to replace the table cell elements at runtime.
lets say for example i have a node structure like this:
Root Node
    table Node data
        cell 1 (Name)
        cell 2 (Description)
Now once the table rendered on Adobe form let say it has 2 rows
1st row : Test name1   |    Test description1
2nd row: Test name2   |     Test description2
now for display i have to show on form like this:
1st row : Test name1            |     Test name2
2nd row: Test description1   |     Test description2
Constraint is i cant change table node structure ,Now i was thinking if i could replace row 2 cell 1 ui element with row 1 cell 2 ui element at runtime in table without changing the mapped values.
Please let me know how i can achieve this or if is there any alternative way to do this.
Any inputs and help are most welcome.
Thanks,
Siddharth

Hi Siddharth,
You can achieve you requirement by creating table using subforms instead of using normal Table UI element.
Create the Table structure this way.
Table(Subform)
Row(Subform)
Name (TextField)
Description(TextField)
Put the name and description field in single column. Bind the table subform with node Data and set the property like this :
Content : Flowed
Flow Direction : Western Text
also check the "Repeat the subform for Each Data item" property.
Set the property of the Subform Row like this:
Content : Flowed
Flow Direction : top To bottom
Bind the Name & Description text field with the proper context.
Thanks & regards

Table Cells with dotted or dashed borders

I created a table and to a number of cells created either dashed or dotted borders of various sizes. When I create a PDF, the dashed and dotted lines only show up as shaded lines. I have tried changing a number of PDF settings and still no luck. Can anyone help? I am working in FrameMaker 10 and Acrobat XI Pro.

> ... a way to create a border for a table cell that has a dotted or dashed line?
If you don't need FM access to cell contents (variables, xrefs, list-of-Tables, etc.), consider doing the tables in a spreadsheet. If the data originates in a spreadsheet, of course, it's usually not worth the effort to transfer the cell data to FM tables anyway, if only due to the risk of transcription error.
LibreOffice or OpenOffice "calc", for example, have many more border/cell options than FM, and can trivially Export Selection to PDF. FM then imports the PDF. Although FM hasn't access to the cell text, it is worth noting that it will be full-text searchable/selectable in the PDF, and not just a graphic. The visible preview image during FM edit is low res (72 dpi) however, unless you use scaling tricks.
MS Excel might also work for this data flow. I only ever use it to re-save a .xls or .xlsx to .ods. What little playing around with it I've tried suggests that rendering a print region to PDF might work, but I don't see any quick way to export selections.
In FM versions earlier than 8, convert such PDFs to EPS using Illustrator or Acrobat Pro. PDF import is unstable in 7x and earlier. We have an AI batch process set up for this, and doing tables this way is easily worth this extra step.

Urgent! HTML table cell - Flash movie display browser dependent

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has experienced the same problem i have
(note, Windows XP, Dreamweaver 4).
Consider the (rough) HTML code attached: A simple HTML table
of one column and two rows is constructed to hold an image banner
link and a Flash movie banner link in each cell consecutively.
The Flash movie works normally when the HTML page is viewed
in IE and Opera, until that is, it is placed inside a table cell.
Inside the cell the flash movie seems to disappear, though i
suspect it collapses to an image 1 pixel in height, as this can
just about be seen using Opera.
Is there something that I am missing? The code of course
seems correct to me - perhaps there is a browser setting i am
missing?
Any help apprceiated - as i need to implement this code ..
Daz

Hi Alan,
Dont think that was the problem (percentages used to scale to
users browser?) ... though you did set me thinking!
Was tired before, so only just remembered that when i was
experimenting with setting the Table Properties the image was
actually occasionally visible!!
Short version: When formatting a cell containing a Flash
animation dont leave the H field blank or use % (even though you're
suppose to be able to!), use pixels instead - otherwise the Flash
image collapses/disappears. Blank and % are fine everywhere else
(I did type a long answer before, but it got eaten by the
forum monster
Someone/i will probably figure out
why this is so or maybe i've just rediscovered the wheel
here - but thats not really important now - because my Flash
animation now renders similarly across IE, Opera and FireFox !!
So thanks for your help!
