Is there a way to make a "table header" a column instead of a row?

I am making a 508 compliant pdf from a predesigned indesign document that has many tables in it. The table that I am having problems with doesn't have it's table header as a Row at the top of the table but instead a Column that runs down the left side like this example:
To be read correctly in the pdf by screen readers the header needs to be included in the table but I don't know how to make a column a header, I have only found the option of making a row a header. Is there a way to do this or will I just have to retag and reorder the tags in the pdf after?
Thanks!

@Joel – ah, now I begin to understand.
Slapbet wants to change the reading order in a two column table from:
Usually:
1  2
3  4
5  6
to:
1  4
2  5
3  6
If so, you need two separate tables:
One for column 1, one for column 2.
Grouped together, anchored in a text frame with the flowing text.
Could the every column is a single table construct work for you?
Or is it necessary for what ever reason (besides editing) to work with a single table?
A script could help to split every  column to a single table, making a group and anchor it to the text flow.
Or did I misunderstand what the problem here is?

  • Is there a way to sort a table by a column of scripture references?

    Here's some sample data:
    Book
    Reference
    Genesis
    1:2
    Genesis
    1:26
    Genesis
    1:6-19
    Genesis
    1:6-8
    Genesis
    12:1
    Genesis
    12:3
    Genesis
    2:2
    My table has certain references from all the books of the Bible (sans Apocrypha), so it's prohibitively hefty, but this gives you a few of my problems:
    It's really hard to sort by books, as they weren't included in the canon in, um, alphabetical order. But I can get around that.
    The verses (the numbers after the colon in the Reference column) are sorted in A-Z style, which is where the bulk of my problem is:
    All chapters beginning with "1" will sort ahead of chapter 2... this is a problem.
    All verses that begin with a lower ordinal will precede any verse that begins with a higher one--in the example above, "26" sorts ahead of "6-19".
    It may be that I'm asking too much of Numbers' built-in sorting tool... any ideas on how I can straighten this out? Short of breaking the chapters and verses apart, of course... I have like 9,000 rows to this table and am not really keen on breaking that format up if I can avoid it, though I'm thinking I won't be able to.
    Thoughts?

    Hi Mikey,
    Numbers sorts numbers in numerical order, and text in 'alphabetical order'.
    You can sort books into the order they appear by adding a column containing a number equivalent to the book's position in the Book.
    Chapter and verse can be handled in several ways:
    Separate book, chapter and verse into four columns. book in two columns (number in the first, name in the second), chapter (as a number) in the third, verse (as a number) in the fourth.
    A three stage sort, on book number, then on chapter number, then on verse number will then put everything back in the original order. Note that a 'three stage sort' is NOT the same as 'three single rule sorts'.
    First two columns as above, chapter and verse combined in column 3. This will require a change in your chapter:verse notation. Here are two possibilities:
    1. Use a numeric notation, replacing the colon with a decimal point. Add one or two leading zeroes to the verse part (after the decimal) to maintain three places after the decimal..
    2. Use text notation, retaining the colon separator. pad the chapter number and the verse number with leading zeroes to maintain three digits before and after the colon.
    (Three places are needed before the colon to allow for the 150 'chapters' in Psalms. Two will be sufficient after the colon unless there is a chapter with more than 99 verses. Unnumbered verses may be accommodated by appending a letter to the number for the past numbered verse (in the text notation), or by extending the decimal part by one digit (for up to nine unnumbered verses in sequence, or by two digits for sequences containing more then nine, but fewer that 100 unnumbered verses. I didn't do a search to determine which of these would be necessary.
    Either of the C&V notations above could be constructed from the 'standard' notation using a formula, and placed in a column which may be hidden, and used only for sorting.

  • Is there any way to make the compass heading in Maps more accurate?

    I find myself perpetually annoyed by the inaccuracy of the iPhone 5 compass when I'm using Maps.  Here are my main issues:
    1) When I am at rest (perhaps in a parking lot or driveway) and start directions to an address, it rarely starts the map out pointing in the right direction - making it difficult to tell whether I should turn right or left coming out of the parking lot.  Of course, once I start moving I can see whether I'm moving in the right direction (and half the time I'm not - no snarky comments, please).  It really annoys me that the internal compass can't figure out and take into account which way I'm pointing when I'm at rest.  So I can immediately tell which was to turn.
    2) When I am moving, and I tap the purple location icon until it enters compass mode one of two things usually happens - both really annoying.  Either it asks me to wave the phone around in a figure-8 (which it does often) or it doesn't set me moving towards the top of the map but instead as much as 45 degrees off from that (sometimes even a full 90 degrees).  It's annoying to have to disconnect my phone from power - while I'm driving - and wave it around.  And it's super annoying that it almost NEVER points the map in the right direction - nor is the error consistent but often spins around all over the place.
    Now, I do recgonize that when my phone is mounted on my dash it is angled slightly towards me and thus not truly pointing straight ahead.  I might then expect a slight variation in map heading due to do that - but I would expect it to be consistent, and it is not.
    So, is anyone else having these problems and has anyone found a way to improve the compass/map performance?
    Thanks.

    I think this is an ongoing problem with the iPhone 5. I went to the store in my area and asked them about it. They said I needed to be away from any metal objects. Then asked when I noticed it. I replied while at work, The genius asked if there was anywhere I could stand that wasn't near any metal. I said, not safely.... he gave me a puzzled look, then I told him I work on Tankers at sea.
      Fortunately I don't have to depend on the iPhone compass. But it would be nice if it were a working feature and not just a cheesy gimmick.

  • Pages: Is there a way to make lines independent, like a real word processor

    There are so many things that infuriate me about Pages. Save As.. missing, autosave, etc which are NOT like 99% of other apps on the Mac.
    Specifially (today):
    I have a letter in Pages. It’s a standard business letter you have see 1m times.
    After the first line of the address, at the top of the letter, I insert a carriage return and BINGO, the tabs in the middle of the letter are suddenly all messed up.
    Grrrrrr.
    Is there a way to make lines independent in Pages? I have this crazy belief that letters are not Web Pages, not HTML, and that an extra line somewhere should not reformat following lines way down the page.
    Alternately, is there some 3rd party word processor that works like the old Apple Works, with graphics and tables you can recommend?
    Thanks

    Save As is still there, hold down the option key as you go to the File menu. This is not Pages, it is Mountain Lion.

    Then you are doing something wrong, probably pounding away at spaces, tabs and returns to position things. Turn on invisibles to see what is going on:
    Menu > View > Show Invisibles
    If you have strings of tabs, spaces and returns that is the problem.
    Is there a way to make lines independent in Pages?
    Yes, hit the return key. Like every other Word Processing program.

    Time to learn Pages. AppleWorks is dead. Stop pining for it. This is a case of user error and instead of blaming Pages, it would pay to find out what you have done and stop doing that.
    Pages, except for the fancy DTP features, tables and charts works like most other Word Processing apps. Just a case of learning new tricks. My guess is you have other stuff going on.

  • Is there a way to create a table of contents listing the order of tabs(sheets) in a Numbers document?

    I am planning my wedding and I have this huge Numbers document with 20+ tabs and I have plans to add many more tabs. Is there a way to create a table that has two columns: column 1= order that a tab appears, column 2=tab name? For example, my first three tabs are called Venues, Must Haves, and To Do List (in this order. I'd want this table of contents to be in the first sheet of the document, so it would be like sheet 1. Then I 'd want like the cells of column 1 to be like 2, 3, 4 (2nd, 3rd, 4th sheet in the document), and then the cells of column 2 to say Venues, Must Haves, and To Do List. I can make a tiny table of one cell in each sheet that I copied the name of the sheet and then do like a cell reference for column 2, but I'm having trouble w column 1.

    There is no referential value for the order of the sheets, just the sheet name. Only two things I can think of to suggest:
    Do the same thing for the first column that you do with the second (i.e. put a referential column in the same table as the Name and point to that).
    Seriously consider using a word processor program. Numbers is probably the wrong tool.

  • Is there a way to create "temporary" tables in SAP database?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to create temporary tables in ABAP?
    Here is our scenario:
    1. Invoke a custom RFC that creates a temporary table and returns the name of the table.
    2. Invoke another custom RFC and pass this table name as parameter. This RFC internally does some INNER JOIN with the temporary table.
    3. Invoke the third RFC to delete the temporary table.
    Note that the name of the table cannot be static. We have many users using our application simultaneously and connecting to the SAP server.
    I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I just ran into a similar issue.  While only calling the select statement 2 times, each time had so many entries in the 'for all entries' list, that the compiler converted this into about 700 calls to the select.  Now since the select joined three real tables on the database, the trace shows this one select as being the slowest item in this application.
    I think that happened because 'for all entries' gets converted to an 'IN' clause, and then the total number of characters in any SQL statement has an upper limit.   So the compiler must make the select statement over and over until it covers all entries in the 'for all entries' list.  Is that correct?
    Since every database I ever saw has the concept of db temporary tables, I have used db temp tables many times for this sort of thing.
    The ABAP compiler could determine that more than one IN statement will be need, then use an alternate: write all the FOR ALL ENTRIES to a db temp table, then join on the db temp table, then drop db temp table.  Since the compiler does this sort of thing, no application code needs change to get the speed boost.

  • Can we put INDEXES on Views if not Is there any way to make it Index bas

    Hi
    I am running a query in which there are several views involved in the join condition Can we put INDEXES on Views in ORACLE 9i if not Is there any way to make it Index based views beacuse the result that i am getting is very slow and is eating like 10gb of the temp tablespace.
    Thanks

    No, you cannot put indexes on a view. Think about what a view is, a stored sql statement. Oracle has no way of knowing what rows are in a view until it actually runs the view. So, even if you could, Oracle would need to run the view to get the rows, build the index, then run your query a second time using the index. Seems counter productive to me. A view can use indexes on the underlying tables if appropriate.
    Generally speaking, I would say that a query that makes use of multiple views is probably really inefficient. Often, you are only looking for one or two columns from a view which may require joining several tables whose columns are of no use in the main query. I would start by re-writing the query using the base tables, and only using those tables that are actually required to answer the question.

  • Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

    I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right.  Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

    Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one.  And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle.  The margins are as follows:
    But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

  • Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or ?

    This may be a stupid question. I am hooking my MBP to my lcd tv. When I first connected the television, my tv displayed the message "mode not supported". Having played a little at this I simply went to my display preferences and looked at what resolution was running to my tv. (I have my display preferences in the toolbar) It was running 1920x1080 at 60Hz and right above that there was another 1920x1080 at 60Hz so I clicked on that and my external display lit right up. (Turns out the second resolution's refresh rate is actually 59.9Hz) So no problem right? Well I use this set up as sort of a media center so I like to run my MBP with its lid closed. When I close the lid, and rewake the MBP, my television gives me the message "mode not supported". So there is a signal but the tv can't display it. This leads me to believe that when I close the lid on my MBP it decides to run at the 60Hz as opposed to the functional 59.9Hz. The problem is I can't see the display to change the resolution or refresh rate. Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or refresh rate? I have tried changing it before I close the lid. I have tried it in mirrored display mode. Nothing works so far. Please Help!

    Not really. In the Displays preferences you can only check the option to show supported resolutions, but that only will be present with another display connected (I believe.) On laptops it isn't an option, obviously, but it may be present once you connect an external display.
    You might try using the shareware utility SwitchResX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

    In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
    Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Best wishes

  • Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

    Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
    I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
    I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
    Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
    By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
    Thanks for any help

    Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

  • I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
    Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
    Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
    Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
    iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
    Music Home Sharing
    Video Home Sharing
    Photo Stream
    Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
    Mail (if using @me.com)
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Bookmarks
    Notes
    Find My iPhone
    Messages
    Find Friends
    FaceTime
    On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
    Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
    The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

  • Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life.  Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

    I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out.  I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all.  After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing.  My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.  
    HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them.  I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
    Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.
