Ignore cell boundary in InDesign table?

Is it possible to have the text in an InDesign table cell ignore the boundaries of the cell walls without merging cells?

Sure, but without using Merge Cells (why not?) you'll have to cheat a bit.
You can place a single cell table in a cell -- see image -- because, famously, table cells may run outside any border of its parent (even text frames).
You can also put your text into a new frame of its own and cut-and-paste that into a cell (on afterthought, that might be a bit easier).

How can I add a character globally to empty cells in an InDesign table?

I have a document with 190 tables, each with many empty cells. Client now wants m-dashes in the empty cells. Is it possible to do this in an automated fashion, without having to go cell-by-cell?

Hi Jarek,
Unfortunately I'm still getting the same "no tables found in the active document" message after modifying it the way you instructed.
Here's my current code. Hopefully you'll be able to detect my problem. I greatly apologize for my ineptitude in javascript
try
var myCells = app.app.selection[0].cells.everyItem().getElements();
alert("myCells:" + myCells.length)
for(i=0; i<myCells.length; i++)
 if(myCells[i].contents == "")
 myCells[i].contents = "N/A"
catch(myError)
 alert("no tables found in the active document")

Numbers ought to keep check box that allows carriage return within a cell universally within a table

Apple really fell asleep at the switch when releasing its latest version of Numbers 2013 (3.2), because it ignored the universal learning styles of human beings who have used the software in earlier releases and seemed to change features with little consideration for the community as a whole.
For example, why would you delete the feature that allows a user to turn-on or turn-off the "carriage return within a cell". It seems smart of them to add the abilityt to simply press the Option key and hit return at the same time to allow a carriage return within a cell, but why would you DELETE the feature that allows returns within a cell universally within a table?
And then the Inspector got completely revised.
Time saved in creating technologies gets eaten up in having to relearn technology every time a new release is created that doesn't build on the previous release very well.

Adamo,
You are complaining to fellow users. It is best to post your feedback to Apple using the menu item

[CS3][VBS]Converting a CALS table to Indesign table in XML

Hi! I have an xml-file with tables that I want to import into Indesign. It works fine when I use the Import CALS tables as Indesign tables in "Import options", but the problem is when I do this some emphasis elements inside the "entry" elements isn't found when I try to use XMLRules to format the emphasis elements in the document... The structure of the table can be like this (in general): Tabell table tblgrp tbody row <entry>Some text...<emp Type = "bold">bold text</emp></entry> <entry>Some text</entry> <entry>some text</entry> row tbody tblgrp table Tabell When I import the Table as CALS tables to Indesign tables, the table structure is collapsed into just a <Tabell> element. I assume this is the reason why the <emp> element isn't found. I try to solve this by NOT importing CALS tables to Indesign tables. I see then that the whole table structure is intact in the structure panel and the <emp> elements are also found by the XMLRules, but the contents is not put inside a table in the indesign document. To put the table elements into a table in Indesign I use the Command: "ConvertElementToTable" but this doesnt work very well. I use it in XMLRules like this: Public Property Get xpath() xpath = "//Tabell" End Property Public Function apply(myXMLElement, myRuleProcessor) With myXMLElement .ConvertElementToTable "row", "entry" End With apply = False End Function Does anyone have any experience of importing XML-tables in Indesign and formatting them? I could really need some to put the xml table into Indesign tables...Please help! In advance thanks!

Hi!
Just check the checkbox "Import CALS tables as Indesign tables" in the XML import options dialogbox. Then it should go automatically.
The problem with this approach is that the entire table structure is collapsed to a single table element in the struture. If one want to do some xml-prosessing at row or cell level one need to to this outside indesign or not import CALS as Indesign tables. The big question is if there is some easy way to convert a CALS table to an Indesign table inside Indesign after one have imported the data and prosessed the row and cell elements...
Hope anyone knows more than me about this....
Anyway, mkarthic, I hope my answer helped you to import your CALS tables!:-)

Do InDesign table fields convert to form fields for interactive PDFs?

Does InDesign CC recognize table fields as form fields when creating fillable form PDFs - or do I have to create individual text fields on top of the InDesign table and assign form field text field characteristic in the buttons and forms menu?

I don't believe InDesign itself will apply any form of automated recognition to table cells...BUT...Acrobat's form field recognition certainly picks up empty table cells and assigns them as text-input fields.
See this page: http://www.eformsfactory.com/mobile-desktop-forms-with-form-field-recognition-in-adobe-acr obat/

Fastest way to fill an InDesign table with data

Hello,
I have to fill several InDesign tables with the content of my database.
I have the database in memory and fill the cells in two Loops (For Each row..., For Each col...).
But it is so slow! Is there a faster way?
Here a code snippet of the solution today:
            For Each row In tableRecord
                Dim inDRow = table.Rows.AsEnumerable().ElementAt(intRow)
                For Each content In row
                    Dim cell = inDRow.Cells.AsEnumerable().ElementAt(content.Index)
                    cell.Contents = content.Value
                Next
                intRow+=1
            Next
Thank you for help!
Best regards
Harald

Hi, Harald!
"This should be faster: table.Contents=Array. Or not?"
Surprisingly is was not. It was slower. A lot slower.
The array was gathered by (here ExtendScript(JavaScript) dummy code) :
myArray = myTable.contents;
Then I did operate on the array. Not on the table object or its cell objects. No direct access to InDesign's DOM objects. Just the built array.
My text file was written by populating it with a string of the array:
myString = myArray.join("separatorString");
separatorString was something that was never used as contents in the table.
Something like "§§§"…
After importing the text file I used the convertToTable() method providing the separatorString as separator for the first and second argument with the number of columns as third argument. The number of columns was known from my original table.
var myNewTable = myText.convertToTable("separatorString", "separatorString", myNumberOfColumns);
Alternatively you could also remove the table after building the array and assign "myString" as contents for the insertionPoint of the removed table in the story. I think I tested that as well, but do not know, if there is a difference in speed opposed to placing a text file with the same contents (I think it was, but not I'm not sure anymore). So I ended up with:
1. Contents of table to Array
2. Array manipulation
3. Array to String
4. Write String as file
5. Remove table
6. Place file at InsertionPoint of (now removed) table
Also to note: This was in InDesign CS5 with a very large table.
Things could have changed in InDesign versions with 64-Bit support.
But I did not test that yet. The customer I wrote this script for is still on CS5.

Import CALS table as Indesign Table

Hi All,
InDesign CS3.
Im working on NLM-DTD, When im importing the xml file into indesign template, i have checked the option "Import CALS table as Indesign table". So it is transfered to table format, after finished the pagination, i want to export the xml file, now the formatting of the table cells (italic, bold, etc) are not coming properly. so i have troubled with this.
Can you help me!!!

Hello,
Thanks.
Yes, that worked fine. But the small XML file below, containing some titles and a table, does not work. I assumed that I could drag and drop the <informaltable> element onto the page and get a rendered table.

InDesign Table Fit (Clear overflow, Height and Row fit)

Hi All,
I am using MagicFit.jsx for fit the table. But it does not clear the overflow and it does not fit the Height. I want to do all of this.
Plz suggest.
MagicFit.jsx
function MagicFit(){
 app.scriptPreferences.version = 4.0; //Because I am using CS5
 MagicFit_1()
 app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0;
function MagicFit_1(){
 MagicFit 2.1b for InDesign CS / CS2 -- 01/18/06
 Fits to content the WIDTH of the selected text container(s)
 Features:
 - Fits selected TextFrame(s) width to content
 - 1st call: "strict" fitting (preserve each lines length)
 - 2nd call (within 2 secs) : "fluid" fitting (preserve height)
 - (NEW) Alternate fitting of table column(s) if selected
 - (NEW) Compute a minimal width by parsing embedded objects
 - (NEW) Runs on selected frames, CELLS, groups, insertion pt
 Installation & usage:
 0) !! CS2 users only !!
 Rename this script file with .jsx extension
 (activating extend script features)
 1) Put the present file into the Presets/Scripts/ subdir
 2) Run InDesign, open a document and select object(s) to fit
 (or put insertion point into)
 3) Run the script via Window > Automation > Scripts
 and double-clic on MagicFit.js
 Alternate way: assign a keyboard shortcut to the script via
 Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts... > Product area:"Scripts"

InDesign table cells don't break across pages the way they do in Word. It's all or nothing.

InDesign table features

There are some table features that Adobe FrameMaker has, and I'm trying to find equivalent features in InDesign. I hope someone can help me locate those features or provide workarounds:
FrameMaker can include a Table Title paragraph as part of the table style. Is this possible in InDesign?
FrameMaker has a "Table Continuation" variable that can be inserted in a table title or table heading row. This is useful for long tables that split from one page to the next. Is that available in InDesign?
As part of a table style in FrameMaker, you can specify widow/orphan settings for rows. For example, if you want at least 2 rows to be kept together, you can make that part of the table style. Is that possible in InDesign?
FrameMaker has a resize columns command that resizes the columns to the width of the text within the cells. In InDesign I find myself tediously resizing each column separately until the text fits in the column. Is there such a resize to width of text command in InDesign?

1, No, InDesign has not such a function.
2. You can do it in InDesign with any text, so you can do it here: Create a text frame, write a text like "Continue on page ###" For the ### use the marker Nxt Page number and lay the text frame on a position where it is at least a little bit overlapping the main text string.
3. No, only paragraph styles can it.
5. Neither.
Bring it to the Feature Request.

Fill in blank cells of a Pivot Table Value field area

Hi,
In this workbook (http://1drv.ms/1oHk0QV), a normal Pivot Table has been created on the "Pivot Table" worksheet. I'd like the blank cells of the Pivot Table to be filled up with the preceding non blank
value. So to take an example of Product A, the following is what I want:
1. H5:N5 should have 1
2. P5:S5 should have 2
3. U5:W5 should have 2
4. Y5:BA5 should have 3
The same should be done for the others as well.
I have attempted something on the "PowerPivot" worksheet but I do not get the correct result.
Please help.
Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com

there you go:
YourMeasure:=CALCULATE([State value],
LASTNONBLANK(FILTER(ALL(Table2[Week]), Table2[Week] <= MAX(Table2[Week])), [State value])
it basically finds the last week with a valid [State Value] and shows it

Dynamic Creation of cells or change of cell behaviour of a table at runtime

Hello all,
Can anybody tell me how can we change the cell behaviour of a table at runtime or creating the table row with different cell properties dynamically at runtime in ABAP webdynpro.
for ex the table at runtime can be like...
The 1st row the 1st cell can be a check box.
The 2nd row the 1st cell can be a input field.
The 3rd row the 1st cell can be a radio selection field.
Business Ex : Dynamic Attributes in BID Invitation
Thanks in advance in clarifying the doubt.

Hi Mani,
You could use code similar to the following code in your WDDOMODIFY method of the view in which the table is placed.
data wd_table_cell_editor type ref to cl_Wd_view_element.
data wd_table_column type ref to cl_wd_table_column.
wd_table_cell_editor ?= view->get_element( ID ). (Or any other way to get the refernce to the table cell editor)
wd_table_column ?= wd_table_cell_editor->get__parent( ).
(Get a refernce to table column throught table cell editor or directly)
Now use the set_cell_editor method of wd_table_column to set the column to check box or input or any other field of your requirement.
Also, I suggest you to use ALV as it is simpler change the cell editor and it provides many other improved functionalities.
Regards,
Srini.

GetPivotData with cell reference in a Table

I was told that this might be a better place to post this question than Microsoft Answers for Office.
I have a Table in which I need to use a GetPivotData function. I need to use a cell reference in that GetPivotData function. I have done this before with no problem in a normal cell range, but it seems like the syntax when using a Table screws
things up. Can anyone help me out here?
The GetPivotTable function would normally look like this if not in a Table.
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Total Blocked Dollars]",'Sheet2'!$A$4,"[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No]","[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No].&[18418]")
That formula sits in a column called "Block" in my Table. The 18418 sits in a column called "ID" in my table. So what I have tried is:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Total Blocked Dollars]",'--Report Blocks--'!$A$4,"[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No]",concatenate("[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No].&[",[@[ID]],"]"))
I have tried a few combinations like this but I can't seem to use a cell reference from a table (which requires the [@[field]] syntax) to work with the GetPivotData.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

That's not the issue. The GETPIVOTDATA function is actually IN a table. The arguments for the GETPIVOTDATA function need to reference a cell/column in the table, and it's only PART of the argument that needs to be replaced. In the example
below the 18418 needs to be replaced with the data in the same row of the table in a column named ID.
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Total Blocked Dollars]",'Sheet2'!$A$4,"[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No]","[Dim Prod Ctrl No].[By Prod Ctrl No].&[18418]")
Does that clarify any?
Thanks for the response!

Resizing cells in a Pages table

I don't know if this has been answered already, but I was wondering if it was possible to resize individual cells in a Pages table (iPad) or to set them to expand automatically when I enter more text than fits a cell?

Any knowledgeable people who can help?
