Inline table in Pages '08 must start on a new page if it doesn't fit?

I edit a newsletter with several tables in it. In Pages '05, I used a Layout break after the previous text, then put in the inline table. As the tables I use are around two thirds of a page long, Pages '05 split the table over two pages, automatically (and helpfully) repeating the headers on the second part of the table.
In Pages '08, I can't seem to avoid the table moving to start at the top of a new page, whether I have a layout break or a section break, or neither, before the table.

Peggy, I'm having the same problem. I do lots of multi-page tables that have a large number of cells with single line of text in each cell. The one I'm looking at right now has a row height of 0.21" for 42 rows. There are four lines of text on the page above where the table should start, and when I insert the table from Numbers, it jumps to the first line of the next page and cascades as it should. In Pages 2, I could insert a layout break after the last character of text on the page, set the top layout margin to 0.125" and the table would start on the first line of the new layout, cascading over any additional pages necessary.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Tables in Pages'06 - some doesn't make sense

Hi all,
I bought recently iWork'06 for my first time ever. After hangig around with M$Word, I focused on Pages. So I gave it a try.
However, I got some issues about tables in Pages.
1. You place a table in your document,in an formatted area (style-assigned area), on error oh my good (only font-formated and list-formated). Try to change the width of an 2-column-table... You need to clear the whole thing an restart with an unformated/non-styled area... It happend to me today.
2. Why is the styling for a table, i.e border-style and boder-color, in the grafics-related menu? It'd be better for the workflow if it's there where it belong to, in the table-menu!
cheers

As with border (stroke) colors, fills and other
graphic-related items, duplicate resources? You will
find text in the tables are manipulated in the text
inspector so why not graphic related items in the
graphics inspector?
Because, in my opinion, a table is not "really" a graphic element. I can select each column or an entire row, what then? I need to go to another menu to select, if I want a border or not.
Ok, probably it's all a bit unlikely or new for me, and I need to play around a bit more to get the Pages workflow around...

Can't add rows to a table in Pages 5.1

I started my table in Numbers but it defaults to huge margins top bottom and on the sides so I can't get much on one page and it won't let you change the margins - one of the huge advantages Excel has. So I copied and pasted part of my table into Pages which does allow you to change the page margins. When I tried to paste or add more rows into that Pages document, the cells below row 120 remain black. Whats keeping me from seeing or working with more rows at the bottom of this table in Pages?

Hank,
The previous version of Numbers had the ability to manage margins, and to view the margins while editing the content. This version, 2.3, is still available.
Whenever you paste a table into Pages, or when you insert one, you must be aware of what part of the document it is in. If it Moves with Text (formerly known as Inline), it will flow from page to page. If the table Stays on Page (formerly known as Floating), the table will run off the bottom of the page and the lower portion will not be displayed.

Mac Mail doesn't show inline tables

When a Windows user send me mail message with inline table (I get about 10-15 messages a day in this format), all formating is garbled in Mac Mail. However, if I go to OWA (Outlook Web Access) and view the email on through web interface all is good. This is very frustrating as I want to use Mac Mail and not OWA to view such messages. Any siggestions?

How to Create Inline Table to Display Detail Data in a Master Table in 11g?

Hi,
I have a requirement to create inline table inside master table to show data.
I found this 10g article for this http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28967/web_masterdetail006.htm#BABCDCGE
I couldn't find such option in 11g. Am i missing something? Please let me know where i can find more details.
Required Output:
[+] DepartmentId DepartmentName
[-] DepartmentId DepartmentName
EmployeeId FirstName LastName
EmployeeId FirstName LastName
EmployeeId FirstName LastName
[+] DepartmentId DepartmentName
Also, I tried creating the Page as below (Departments -Employees Relation). i.e I have tried using the ADF treeModel in the bindings and then created a table/inline table manually to populate. The data is available in the iterators (i found using sops in back bean), but the inline table is not showing any data. I tried enabling PPR on detail based on master. But no luck.
<af:table rows="#{bindings.Departments1.rangeSize}"
emptyText="#{bindings.findAllStaff1.viewable ? \'No rows yet.\' :
\'Access Denied.\'}"
var="row" value="#{bindings.Departments1.treeModel}">
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.Departments1.labels.DepartmentId}"
sortable="false" sortProperty="DepartmentId">
<af:outputText value="#{row.DepartmentId}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.Departments1.labels.DepartmentName}"
sortable="false" sortProperty="DepartmentName">
<af:outputText value="#{row.DepartmentName}"/>
</af:column>
<f:facet name="detailStamp">
<af:table rows="#{bindings.Departments1.rangeSize}"
emptyText="No rows yet." var="detailRow"
value="#{row.children}">
<af:column headerText="#{row.children[0].labels.EmployeeId}"
sortable="false" sortProperty="EmployeeId">
<af:outputText value="#{detailRow.EmployeeId}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column headerText="#{row.children[0].labels.FirstName}"
sortable="false" sortProperty="FirstName">
<af:outputText value="#{detailRow.FirstName}"/>
</af:column>
<af:column headerText="#{row.children[0].labels.LastName}"

Hi,
After reading the above links end-to-end twice, I'm finally able to establish the relationship in UI. I've used iterator for my specific purpose, although it can be done using a table/forEach.
1) Create VOs for Dept and Emp, i.e. DeptVO and EmpVO.
2) Then a View Link on deptID, i.e DeptEmpVL
3) Drag and drop the Dept as AdfTreeTable, b'coz it will create the treeBinding and also add the emp accessor by selecting it in the binding window. (refer to above doc links from BaiG)
4) In my Page UI, i've created a new table and an iterator in the detailStamp.
Dept Table ->
o Value = #{bindings.Departments1.treeModel}
o Var = dept
o varStaus = deptVarStatus
Add these:
Column1-> OutputText -> #{dept.DepartmentId}
Column2-> OutputText -> #{dept.DepartmentName}
Insert into TableFacets -> detailStamp -> iterator
Iterator ->
o Value = #{dept.children}
o Var = emp
o varStatus = empVarStatus
Add these:
OutputText -> #{emp.EmployeeId}
OutputText -> #{emp.EmployeeName}
OutputText -> #{emp.Salary}
This iterator/forEach comes in handy for having n Number of regions inside a layout.
Thanks,
Harikiran

Table in pages need text in a column to carryover to next page.

Inserting a table in Pages from Numbers

After inserting a table from numbers, it's sometimes not possible to adjust it's dimensions in Pages anymore. At the same time i can't select most of the options to change the tables layout behavior. When i add a table in Pages all options are available in the same textframe? Can't find the difference...
Any idea?

You are right with floating / inline.
But you are not right depending the development of the program. For users edditing text it is completly inapprehensible why the behavior of table adjustements should change, just because it is inline and breaking to the next page, while the same table keeps beeing adjustable when it is displayed on one page again by e.g. adding linies above in the textbox?
That's stupid, like you would judge on Microsofts Word... Programs should support users work and not the other way around.
There is no way to change font-sizes if you can't read the content anymore...

Working with Tables in Pages 5.0

Help! I want to put a multi-page length table in a Pages document, but once the table gets longer than one page the cells just disappear and do not move to the next page. There doesn't seem to be an option in 5.0 to select "inline" and it's not allowing me to select "Page Break." Any ideas how to make this work?

Select the Table by clicking on the big fat dot top left:
Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Move with Text > Text Wrap > Inline with Text

Table on Page One Blocking Layout/Section Break & Distinct Headers/Footers

Is there any way to start a new Header/Footer on page 2, after a page one table that fills the page?
I've created my first page as a Table (entire page) in order to recreate the front page of my newsletter, as used by a previous editor. Works great, and has been the only way I've found to mimic the old front page. Problem is, I can't get the document to accept setting up a different header and footer for subsequent pages, and when I try to do so, I end up with a header on page 1 above my banner Headline. Yech.
I can't put a section break inside the Page 1 Table - Pages Won't allow (option is greyed out). I tried to put a layout break at the top of page 2, which is supposed to allow a new Header/Footer for subsequent pages, but when i insert the cursor on page 2 and attempt to create a distinct Header/Footer for the document after the layout break, there is a check mark, greyed out, in the Section part of the Layout Inspector, for the line: Use previous Headers and Footers. That is, it's locked and can't be unchecked.
If I do try to set up a header/footer field linked to the doc page after the layout break, it also creates the same layout and fields as for the first page.
Am I stuck here because I started out my doc with a table?

Welcome to the forums, OwlRemembers.
You should be OK with using the table as you are. The problem is probably arising because you aren't inserting the section break into the default text box on the page. This may be because the cursor is being inserted into the header, or that the table is covering the entire default text box, and so clicking in the main part of the page selects a table cell.
There are two things I would suggest. The first is to use the Layout View (under View menu, choose Show Layout) -- this will ensure that you can see the default text box (the big box that covers most of the page. The second would be to click on the table you have created and, in the Wrap Inspector palette, choose "Fixed on page". Once this is done, you should be able to grab the table, move is slightly aside, insert a section break on the page, and move the table back.

Inline tables - refresh problem

Hi,
I've migrated an application created with ADF 10g to ADF BC 11g + Apache Trinidad.
Some forms constist of master-detail tables (details as inline table).
It worked ok with ADF 10g. It was created as 2 views connected with ViewLink in a standard way.
With ADF BC 11g/Trinidad, at first glance, it looks and works ok.
The problem occurs after page reload: when some of master table rows are disclosed: all detail tables are shown as empty (which is incorrect).
After any partial reload (like disclosing any row in table), everything come back to normal (detail tables are filled with data).
I searched the forum, but didn't find any solution.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

Since you don't provide essential information which would help us give advice, I had to guess some facts, such as your version and replication setup. In the 10.2 Advanced Replication manual, I found the following quote:
"Oracle also supports the replication of tables and materialized views with columns that use the following large object types:
Binary LOB (BLOB)
(the chapter is at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14226/repplan.htm#i21350).
It doesn't say anything about the BLOB columns having to be defined as "is not null". Therefore, from the little you said, I don't know why it wouldn't work. Do you have any details to provide for us? Otherwise, I could try myself in the next couple of days, and let you know how that worked.

Working in a doc with inline tables uses 80% of my CPU

Hi everyone,
I'm using Pages 4.0.4, and typing (in table, around table, any where) slows to a crawl when I my document contains inline tables. Using Activity Monitor, I can see my CPU usage jump to 80% when I type in a Pages document with inline tables. It stays at 8% as I type with the very same tables positioned as floating.
I'm working on a six-page document with four or five tables (one of which is a yearly calender with lots of small columns and rows). There are no other fonts besides Helvetica 12pt, and nothing but alphanumeric characters. I've experienced this slowdown before, but I've always put up with it. Now, it's just driving me crazy!
I've tried...
* Validating all my fonts - I found 40-ish minor errors (mostly duplicate font errors), but I didn't know how to fix them.
* Thinning the tables - I read that thinning inline tables so they don't run margin-to-margin can help. It didn't.
If I had to guess, I'd say Pages runs layout calculations with each keystroke so objects can flow with the text. Is there a setting or preference I'm missing to do this less often?
I could float the tables, but every time I change the text above them I have to reposition all of them. I love Pages, and I hate to return to MS Office. However, this slowdown is a deal breaker for me. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jack
PS - If it helps, I experience the same type of slowdown with Numbers. If the table exceeds several rows by several columns, typing, copying & pasting, etc take forever! I've read that that's because Numbers recalculates the entire sheet with every event, but that seems pretty drastic.

What you describe is perfectly consistent with what you read (I recognized what I wrote).
If tables are floating, they don't move when the text layer is edited. So they have no impact upon recalculations.
When they are inline, the app is so dumb that it behave as if it was recalculating from the very beginning which of course, with these embedded items, requires a lot of time.
AppleWorks designers made a better work on this point but they were old-fashioned ones.
They offered two interesting features :
(a) recalculate only what was really needed
(b) in the Spreadsheet, they gave a menu item allowing us to stop/activate recalculations
Alas, I'm not sure that iWork designers ever open AppleWorks.

Is there a way to import/export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

It seems like Pages is starting to get funtionality that might help wean me off of Excel. In this vein, is it possible to import or export tab delimited files to a table in Pages 2?

I had some success in Pages 1, but I've only tried a couple of times so far in Pages 2 without success. The trick was to make sure the table is the exact number of columns wide. It's very "klunky" but I've ended up converting the tab-delimited text to a table in AppleWorks, saving the AppleWorks file with the table as a "floating" object (fixed objects don't translate) & opening the file in Pages. It's quicker & easier for most of what I do to just drag & drop in Pages.

Inline tables in dreamweaver???

A buddy of mine made an inline table or maybe he called it an
inline frame with frontpage for a website. Is this possible in
dreamweaver??? I've looked in all of my books and nothing in terms
of "inline" is there Im wondering if dreamweaver calls it by a
different name. For any that dont know, it would look like a
webpage inside of another webpage, so when you click on a link only
the new data shows up, the menu bars or banners or anything else
you want is already loaded on the main page and doesnt have to load
again.

It's either a frame or an iframe, a distinction without a
difference.
Frames, no matter what you call them, are a very poor way to
design &
structure a web page at least 99.99% of the time. Search this
newsgroup/forum for "frame" and you'll find hundreds of posts
explaining why
you should avoid them.

Inline table throw "make a selection" error in required field upon PPR

Hi,
I have a dropdown in a page and when change, will do a PPR and render the inline ADF table which contains selectOneChoice, inputText components.
Here's code snipplet:
<af:selectOneChoice label="Action" shortDesc="Action" id="soc17"
rendered="#{!viewScope.FaParamConfigBean.paramConfigMode
and pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.flowParamConfigMode}"
valueChangeListener="#{pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.onChangeAction}"
immediate="true" autoSubmit="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.actionsList}"
id="si12"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:panelCollection id="pc3" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
rendered="#{pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.showFlowParamConfigTable}"
partialTriggers="soc17">
<af:table value="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.collectionModel}"

fetchSize="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.rangeSize}"
rowBandingInterval="0"
selectedRowKeys="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
rowSelection="single" id="t11"
editingMode="editAll" styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
columnStretching="column:c4"
partialTriggers="::ctb12 ::ctb13"
immediate="true">
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.name}"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.label}"
id="c4">
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{row.bindings.ParameterUid.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.label}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.tooltip}"
required="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.mandatory}"
id="soc99" immediate="true">
<f:selectItems id="si88"
value="#{pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.parameterListDrop}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
</af:column>
The issue is that after changing the value in "Action" dropdown, the inline table got refreshed accordingly, and ADF throws error "Please make a selection for Parameter Uid" on the required selectOneChoice value in the inline table. How can I prevent ADF having the validation checking of required fields when doing a PPR? I have already set the dropdown and table immediate=true already.
Please advise.
Thanks

Question about making tables in Pages :-)

Hello! I can't resize tables in Pages. I can drag them downwards but not horizontally! Anyone know why or what I can do about it? Thanks!

HI promises,
Do you men you can increase the size of a table vertically, but not horizontally?
Tables are inserted as inline objects. Inline objects are treated like text, and are bound by the text margins set for the document (or for a layout within the document). When inserted, their width defaults to the maximum allowed.
In the image, you can see the margin stops at 1 and 7.5 inches (indicated by blue arrows). You can't make the inline table any wider, but you can make it narrower.
Click away from the table to deselect any cells that may be selected, then click once on the table to select the whole table. Use the mouse to grab the handle at the center of the right edge of the selected table, and drag left to decrease the width of the table. All columns will narrow proportionally:
Move the smaller table left or right using the Text formatting tools avilable—the alignment buttons or a tab character and a tab stop.
Regards,
Barry
