IDCS6 - How do I create tables with large whole numbers and small fractions?

I have a lot of engineering data, dimensions, etc, to enter into an existing IDCS6 Table. I need whole numbers to display full size, but fractions to be small size. I know I can use Open Type and select the Fractions option for each individual fraction, but that would take forever and give me a roaring headache.
How do I create a style (or whatever) that will allow me to just type in the numbers and have them automatically apply small formatting to the fraction portion of the number whenever it sees a "/"?
Along a similar line, I was trying to copy table data from a PDF document from Acrobat X Pro and paste that into an IDCS6 table, so each cell is populated by the appropriate cell data from the PDF file, but didn't have any success. That would really save me a lot of time, because I have many complete tables in PDF format. The data is not protected in the PDF, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to bring it over to IDCS6.
On a Mac, OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks,
Lou

There are a number of ways to do it, but I make fractions using Dan Rodney's excellent (and free) Proper Fraction script. After it's installed; assign it a keyboard shortcut. Then type your numerator/denominator, select it, and invoke the script. With just a couple keystrokes, you've got a perfectly formatted fraction.
As for the PDF tables, I'd try exporting the host file to RTF and copy/pasting from there. In case you're unaware, to paste values into InDesign table cells, the number of (pre-existing), cells/rows/columns in InDesign must match those copied (from) exactly, and must be pre-selected when the Paste command is executed. So...
1. Set up empty destination table in InDesign which matches the source structure.
2. Select source cells and Copy.
3. In Indesign, select exact same (x, y, qty), range of destination cells and Paste.

  • How to Capture a Table with large number of Rows in Web UI Test?

    HI,
    Is there any possibility to capture a DOM Tabe with large number of Rows (say more than 100) in Web UI Test?
    Or is there any bug?

    Hi,
    You can try following code to capture the table values.
    To store the table values in CSV :
    *web.table( xpath_of_table ).exportToCSVFile("D:\exporttable.csv", true);*
    TO store the table values in a string:
    *String tblValues=web.table( xpath_of_table ).exportToCSVString();*
    info(tblValues);

  • How to handle same product with different part numbers and pricing in SAP.

    I am a new user and want to learn if the following scenario can be handled by SAP.
    Our business buys a product from a supplier which has 2 different part numbers and prices. It is the same product. One is the primary product whilst the other is available only as an upgrade option with a different part number to a mainline product at a cheaper price .
    Our issue is that we sometimes buy the upgrade option with a mainline product to get the better price even though these go into stock. Basically we need to have the items linked with both part numbers in SAP at different prices but inventory both in and out only going against the primary part number. Any ideas?

    Thanks Jitin
    I did give them different part numbers and then attached a Bom containing the primary part number against the upgrade option however I really need to have the secondary item as a sales and purchase item but non inventory so the stock comes from the primary part. Ideally  if we receipt the goods in as the secondary number the inventory goes to the primary part. If the second number is an inventory item then I have the issue of the same part with different part numbers sitting in stock at different prices and having to rely on employees understanding the difference.
    Sorry to be so confusing. I will do some more testing over the weekend and see if I can find a suitable solution.
    Thanks

  • How to create table with row type in smart forms

    How to create table with row type in smart forms with out line type
    please explain me the procedure

    HI,
    A table type describes the structure and functional attributes of an internal table in ABAP. In ABAP programs you can reference a table type TTYP defined in the ABAP Dictionary with the command DATA <inttab> TYPE TTYP. An internal table <inttab> is created in the program with the attributes defined for TTYP in the ABAP Dictionary.
    A table type is defined by:
    its line type, that defines the structure and data type attributes of a line of the internal table
    the options for managing and accessing the data ( access mode) in the internal table
    the key ( key definition and key category) of the internal table
    The row type is defined by directly entering the data type, length and number of decimal places or by referencing a data element, structured type ( structure, table or view) or other table type. Or the row type can be a reference type.

  • How to create table with dynamic rows

    Hi Ppl,
    I have an array lets say with length of n. I want to creata table with 2 columns and no of rows = array length.
    lets say array length is 3 ( array[0] = 1, array[1] = 2, array[2] = 3) so the table should have 2 columns and 3 rows.
    After creation of table I want to display each array value in each row.
    Can somebody help me in this asap.
    Thanks \
    Ashish

    Hi, Thanks for reply... actually this is one part of rtf. I have put values from xml to an array and now I want to create a table with no of rows = length of array. so here xml will not be useful. could you pls think of it without xml.
    result is like
    lets says below is the array
    array[0] = a
    array[1] = b
    array[2] = c
    array length = 3
    so there should be a table of 2 coulmns and 3 rows. Second column of first row will show 'a', Second column of second row wil show 'b' and Second column of third row will show 'c'.
    Hope this is useful.

  • How to build a table with predifined? Like Huffman decoding, there are 34 predefined tables?

    I am trying to use Labview for mp3 huffman decoding. there are 34 predefined tables for lookup purpose. I tried build array control, but it is so hard to assign value with size of 16. What is the better way to create predefined array? And how to do lookup table with Labview?

    IMHO, the best way to have something "predefined" is to read this data from a "setup/configuration" file (if you don't want to use "default settings" LV feature). The choice of the format for all the data that you want to store in some kind of configuration file is up to you.
    Also, constructing a "lookup table" in LV doesn't seems different as for any other programming language.

    Hi,
    Right click the mouse->create->table
    If you want 5 columns, you need to declare 5 cells in one line type of the table
    Click on Table -> Details, then do the following
    Line Type 1 2 3 4 5
    L1 2mm 3mm etc
    Here specify the width of the columns as many as you want..
    then in the header/main area of the table, click create Table Line, Rowtype is L1, automatically 5 cells will come,In each cell create a text element, display the variable to be printed there.

    Cause:     An attempt was made to use a DDL operation on a remote database. For example, "CREATE TABLE tablename@remotedbname ...".

  • OID users ( EUS) problem with grant create table with admin

    Hi,
    We activated enterprise users in the OID.
    There is a role APP_ADMIN that has the following grants:
    create user
    drop user
    create table with admin option
    this is for an application that creates BI schemas, so it needs to be able to create other users.
    I have granted these to a local role, and the user has access to the local role, thanks to the OID setup.
    The create and drop user work.
    however, the grant create table to another user does not work.
    Is there an issue with 'with admin option' grants in Enterprise user security?
    Regards,
    Peter

    If I grant
    grant create table to test_role with admin option;
    it does not work
    if I grant
    GRANT GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE to test_role WITH ADMIN OPTION;
    it does work.
    The test command as user with test_role is:
    grant create table to test_usr;
    very strange!
    If the user is a standard user and I create role test_role
    and grant create table to test_role with admin option it works.
    but if I convert the user to an EUS user and the same privilege is given to the role ( role is granted to a global role to an enterprise role)
    it doesnt work
