InDesign table/textbox problem

I have a table inside a textbox. Whenever I move the textbox to the lower left side of my document, a couple of the rows inside the document automatically split leaving an unwanted horizontal space in my table. Oddly, when I move the textbox (with a table inside) to another side of the document, the table, the unwanted space disappears.

Sounds a lot like there may be text inthe table set to align to the baseline grid. Does moving vertically result in a jump in the text position?

[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!:-)

InDesign Tables: Row and Column Strokes

Using InDesign Tables: 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...any advice?

order by dra.repair_numbereach diffrent problem codes for same repair number here i am want records relevant to Depot Repair

In 11.5.9, the problem and resolution codes are stored in FND_LOOKUP_VALUES table with lookup type as 'REQUEST_PROBLEM_CODE' and 'REQUEST_RESOLUTION_CODE'. I'm hoping you could still use these tables to find problem codes, even if you were on 11.5.10 or R12.
Join would be something like:
WHERE fnd_lookup_values.lookup_type = 'REQUEST_PROBLEM_CODE'
AND fnd_lookup_values.problem_code = cs_incidents_all_b.problem_code
Regarding restricting the query for Depot Repair service requests, you need to restrict by the the incident_type_id for this type of SRs (like id for Depot incident type is 10003 for us).

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/

InDesign CS2 Printing Problems

I teach in a Mac computer Lab (mac OS X) and InDesign CS2 is a huge headache for me; my students can't print their work half the time. I read online a lot of member posts about InDesign CS2 printing problems. Would a CS3 upgrade help?

CS3 upgrades are no longer available now that CS4 is out!
Perhaps if you described your particular problems, members of this forum could assist you. Note however, that CS2 was not supported on MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard).

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!!!

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.

Table update problem in tabstrip control

Hi experts.
i have one tabstrip control having 4 tabs.
in those tabs i am updating one table say ztable(database table).
my problem is this is happening in pai of every tab.
but what ever i am updateing table those changes will reflect in other tabs.
where i have to write code like pbo or what i should do.
what ever i am updateing in tab1 i have to see in tab2.what ever i have update i should see in tab3.
but it is not showing the updates when we will go for other tabs.
Thanks

Hi,
Please check the following things :
1 . The Fucntion code type for each tab is blank
2 . Same subscreen area is assigned to each tab
3 . Corresponding subscreen is dynamically incorporated into the subscreen area CALL SUBSCREEN in the flow logic
If you are not doing this, then you are scolling in SAP GUI, not in your program. In this case the values entered in TAB1 won't get reflected in TAB2.
If this is the case in your program, fix the above three points. then it will work.

Passing value from non-table textbox to based one

Hi all!
In a master detail form I have a non-table textbox in wich I want the user writte a n: of days,and automatic I want the sysdate increased the n: of days written, in another texbox from a table, that will be insert in the table, but I don4t know how can I do it, There4s an easy way to do it as the "when validate item" trigger in Developer Forms or somtehing like that? I4m thinking in make some PL/SQL code in the ". . before processing the form"
Any help will be appreciated
Thks in advance

Hi,
This type of tasks could be done from Javascript only, you may take a look at the following post:
Topic: Referencing form field values in javascript
http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum81/HTML/000073.html
The topic is kind of lengthy - look for JS function getField().

Possible? SQL table link to InDesign Table

My company uses indesign for all of our work instructions. We have a database of our bill of materials - we export data from this database to excel, and dump that table into indesign. my question is - is there a way to link an indesign table directly to SQL, or if I set up a data connection in the Excel table, will it update dynamically when the indesign (or exported PDF) file is opened?

cgpl_project contains the information you are looking for for the promotion guid. Also you can link the crm_mktpl_attr.responsible to the but000 table on partner_guid to get the Employee Responsible name.

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).

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 CS6 color problems

Hi there!
I've a problem with colors and/or color profiles.
When I import an image (rgb or cmyk) into InDesign, when I export the pdf, it change completely colors; it looses a great part of red-magenta areas.
I tried quite all profiles suggested in the output intents (Fogra 39, Euroscale), and type of Pdf (X1, 2...).
I tried also to synchronize all applications profile colors with Bridge, choosing Europe Prepress 3.
I live in Italy, I own a Master Collection CS6 in English and I work with a Apple MBP 15" Mid 2014.
I never had this problem before.
Please help me, because i don't know what to do and because I can't export any pdf for my job!!!!
Alberto
Update:
I tried to export from Photoshop the same image as Tiff and as Pdf. The first is ok, the second one has the same problems of InDesign.
I tried also to print directly from Indesign and the problem persist.

Hi Rob! I'm your italian nightmare!
So I create a new document with this profile:
and exported in this way:
The image inserted has SRGB Calibrated20090131 (8bpc)
These are:
1) the image
2) the scan of the image
3) the scan of the pdf
I know that scanning don't display colors as they are.
I can tell you that pdf displays colors like the image visualizers.
