ID5: Table cell strokes &!^@)ed up

I'm trying to add a stroke to the top and bottom of a selection of cells. Sometime it works, sometimes it adds the stroke too all sides of all cells in the selection. What's going on? Even it I select just the bottom row and try to stroke the bottom I get tops and sides stroked, too. Also, the wrongly added stroke is the wrong weight (1 pt, instead of 0.5 pt). WTF x 2!
I've tried using the Control panel and the Stroke panel. Makes no difference.
This is extremely frustrating. What should be a simple process is taking a very long time to get right, adding strokes that shouldn't be added, then selectively removing them from individual cells.

> Do you have a 1 pt. Table Border applied?
No. No table border applied until I went in to selectively apply the strokes to selected cells. The Table Style I started from has no strokes.
>If you turn off all Table Strokes, and then turn off all Cell Strokes, then apply the .5 pt. stroke to the desired cells, does that work?
No. That's basically what I'm doing. I select a range of cells that have no strokes, neither between the cells nor around any side on the selection.
>And when you apply the cell stroke, you only need to have the middle horizontal cell selected.
No. I want to stroke the top of the selection and the bottom of the selection, so the middle segments are un-highlighted.

  • InDesign Table Cell Strokes not appearing perfect

    How do you get row and column strokes in a table to appear perfectly joined? When I choose "Column Strokes in Front" (Under Table Setup) i still see a tiny row stroke, and vice versus.. it's really visible in the PDF almost can't see it in InDesign though you can a little...

    Thank you, although I doubled and even tripled checked the blue highlighted cell option and they visibly appear to be selected and in blue color, but when printed not the case.
    This document is a product catalog, 50 plus pages and I have about 15 of those pages not showing the stroked edge. So that is why I thought, perhaps something was blocking the edge and arranged the table to the front with hopes of a difference, but that too failed. I am turning grey by the minute.

  • Longtime bug: Table cell strokes disappearing

    I was hoping this would be fixed in CS5, but apparently not.
    I want a very simple table with just horizontal rules above each line. I want to set this as a cell style, so I can apply and unapply for maximum flexibility.
    So this is what I want:
    row 1, col 1     row 1, col 2   row 1, col 3
    row 2, col 1     row 2, col 2   row 2, col 3
    row 3, col 1     row 3, col 2   row 3, col 3
    Here's what I do:
    - I create a new table.
    - I remove the ugly borders that are applied by default, and I save that as a new table style (because, apparently, I'm unable to overwrite the default style).
    - I select the cells from the top row (or all rows or just one) and apply a top border of, say, 1 point. I save that as a cell style called "ruled."
    - Problem is, when I try to apply this to a specific cell or row, the cell underneath loses its stroke. So if I apply the "ruled" style to row 2, col 2, the table looks like this:
    row 1, col 1     row 1, col 2   row 1, col 3
    row 2, col 1     row 2, col 2   row 2, col 3
    row 3, col 1     row 3, col 2   row 3, col 3
    When I check the cell style of row 3/col 2, the Cell Styles palette claims that it's the "ruled" style with no custom formatting. But the border says 0. When I double-check the cell style options, sure enough, it's supposed to be 1 point. So if I apply the style, it gets applied -- but, then, the cell beneath *that* one (if there is one) loses its stroke!
    So every time I have to make a change, I have to apply the strokes all the way down the table.
    Of course, this completely negates the advantage of having a style. If I have to manually apply and re-apply formatting for every cell, there is no point to having a style.
    If I am doing this wrong, I'd love to know a solution. I've grappled with this for years, and I've always ended up abandoning styles, which should be one of the most powerful features.
    As a corollary, I've occasionally tried alternating row strokes (using every line) for the table style, from which I've had mixed results. This would work in some cases, but I also sometimes want tables with only some columns ruled, like so:
    row 1, col 1     row 1, col 2   row 1, col 3
    row 2, col 1     row 2, col 2   row 2, col 3
    row 3, col 1     row 3, col 2   row 3, col 3
    I suppose I could override the cells in the non-ruled column with cell styles without rules, given that the cell styles function seems awfully good at making strokes disappear ...
    Thanks for any help!

    Yes, yes, yes! Thank you!
    So I need to select top AND middle when applying the stroke, then redefine style if necessary. I guess, due to interface confusion, I was ignoring the middle stroke, thinking it was only for full table-level styling.
    In the style options dialog for the Cell Styles, you don't even see a middle stroke. You only get middle strokes if you select the cell and use the stroke palette for local formatting.

  • InDesign CS3 cell stroke function is &*^%up

    After working with table cells and application of borders for, oh, at least 2.5 hours, I have found that if you want a stroke on the bottom of a cell, then, apply it to the TOP; and if you want a stroke on left side of cell, apply it to the RIGHT side, and so on. There is no way to choose the table and apply a horizontal or vertical stroke between the cells, I have to apply the style to every cell. Glad I'm working on a table with only 20 cells.
    Am I the only one that is visited by this border demon?
    Thanks. karen.

    Let me rephrase that. If you select a block of cells, that proxy represents the entire block. If the bottom stroke is active in the proxy, the settings you apply will be applied along the bottom of the block. If one or both of the of the center strokes are active, the settings you apply will be applied to the horizontal or vertical divisions between the cells in the block. To set different paramenters for one group of strokes, deselect the others in the proxy and they won't be affected.

  • Find/change colour tint in table cell

    Hi everyone,
    I have a document containing a heap of tables. The tables currently have a tint of 15% black in some of the rows and I need to change this to 5% black. I also need to change the stroke weight from 0.5pt to 0.3pt.
    Since there are so many of them, I wondered if there was a way to do this with find and change. The tables aren't objects - they're just regular tables inserted into the text frames.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • Tables and stroke (macros?)

    I have a document (our schedule of classes) that includes tables.  The cells are not consistent (some are merged).  I need to select a group of rows and apply a stroke to the outer edges only.  I know how to do this in a step-by-step manner.  However, I am wondering how to set up a macro so i select the group of cells and the weight/type applies with one key stroke.  Any suggestions?

    Still not sure what you're trying to do. If you want to surround some cells then you need to select them and use the proxy.
    There's no fast way to do that since there's no consistency here. Some of the groups have more rows than others.
    But here's a though. You can put a table inside a table. So you could create a table with strokes on all cells and then copy/paste the table cells from the other table.
    It would be a pain the first time out but after that it would be all set up.

  • Looping table cells....... is it possible to loop more than one table cell?

    Hi there
    Hope everyone is doing well
    I have been using the addt looper wizard and it works great.....
    I usually put all the things I want to loop into one cell.... then select all the things and apply the looper.... which works fine....
    But..... it is hard to align all the elements I want to loop
    I have been using transparent gif images to space the loops evenly but when I space dynamic taxt on top of each other there is a large gap.....
    It is a nightmare to get it looking even
    Ok say I want to loop this.....
    A thumbnail
    Product ID
    Price
    It would look like this
    A thumbnail
    Product ID
    Price
    Because I cannot reduce the space between the lines......
    So I would like to place all the different elements in separate table cells and loop them..... I have tried and get really strange results....
    When you look at most online shops, their product pages have a thumbnail image the id, price, description, etc.... all spaced evenly.... and looks like is looped...... So.... how do I do it?
    Is there any easier way to align the things I want to loop?
    Any help would be great

    Hi there

  • Highlighting text in a table cell

    Im trying to get text in a table have it background shaded a different colour to the rest of the table cell but it doesnt work. No exceptions are thrown does anyone have any idea.
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
            Object value,
            boolean isSelected,
            boolean hasFocus,
            int row,
            int column)
            setFont(table.getFont());     
            this.setText(value));
            this.selectAll();
            this.setSelectionColor(new Color(0,0,255,100);
            return this;
        }

    The answer is similar to what someone else asked recently for highlighting text in a JFormattedTextField cell.
    class MyFocusListener extends FocusAdapter
    public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
    public void run()
    selectAll();
    Put that in your cell editor or its base class. You can change the color or whatever you want. I think the problem is a timing thing where normal focus processing is interrupting your changes. So give the focus processing time to run with this Runnable triggering your processing to occur on the Awt thread (as is proper) after the system is doing whatever it wants to do. Let us know if it works for you.

  • How to use a checkbox table cell in FXML

    I've figured out how to make a column in a TableView render as a checkbox rather then just text when the UI is written in Java. Now I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing with FXML. I've tried a couple experiments which have all failed, usually with an exception complaining that it can't coerce a table cell class type (or extension) to an interface (i.e. Callback).
    Right now I'm just trying to make one of the columns be a checkbox. I'm not trying to use any custom type. In other words, in Java I would have done the following:
    TableColumn<MyModel, Boolean> col1 = new TableColumn<MyModel, Boolean>();
    col1.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<MyModel, Boolean>("col1Field"));
    col1.setCellFactory(CheckBoxTableCell.forTableColumn(col1));This works when I build the UI using Java API calls. Does anyone know how to do this in FXML?

    Thank you both.
    I used Luca's suggestion as a first step.

  • How to print global variable in smart form table cell

    hi,
    i have smartform and i insert table in it, i also have set global variable, i want to show variable in table cell.
    regards
    shahid rais

    Hi Shahid Rais 
    You can use this global variable that has been declared in anywhere as you like.
    For displaying global variable in table lines, You can first set the column and row of the table by using the table tab in table node . Then, u can decide either the variable u want to used will be placed on header, main, or footer. After that, right click on one of the table part, and choose create table line. After choosing the correct line type as already been declared in the table painter, just simply right click on the table cell, and then create text node.
    You can now enter your variable by using "insert field".
    And don't forget the & & signs before and after your variable name.
