Notes within table cells

I made a large table where each cell contains a number indicating
the level of a parameter.
Some of these cells would need an explanation. And I'd like to put this
explanation outside of the table so as to keep it filled with
numeric values. I thought that a note would be the perfect tool to make
this kind of table explanation.
Hence I tried to insert a footnote within a cell,
but the menu stay as grey as deaf.
It doesn't even give me the smallest word of explanation about
this error or inability.
I didn't find any help on how to insert a footnote within a table cell?
Is it prohibited?
Why?

Bad news, but clear and fast answer.
I appreciate .
I'd appreciated to read this as quickly and clearly in the inline help.
Do you know if this banning of notes within tables
is lifted with Pages'09?
Otherwise, I'll submit a feedback.

Columns within table cells

Is it possible to have more than one column within a table cell?

You can create tabular columns within a table cell. You can type a tab character either by choosing Type > Insert Special Character > Other > Tab, or pressing Option+Tab (Mac). (I can't test this on Windows, but I think Alt-Tab is used to switch between applications, so you could set up a different keystroke in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.) Then you can use the Tab panel to set tab stops within the cell, as if it were a text frame.

CSS positioning within table cells

Maybe I've just been staring at this too long but I'm stumped. I want to position a table (could be a list) within a table by setting the parent element to relative and the position of the child element to absolute. The only problem is that I can't get my table cells to act as parent elements so the smaller table (or list) positions itself relative to the wrapper div which is also set to relative. Do I have to create divs within the table cells? If so it sort of defeats the purpose of the table. How can I do this using appropriate markup?
Hope this makes sense. I think my brain has gone numb.
Here's the page I'm trying to fix:

Thanks in advance for your help.

What I see is a table with red borders that contain images left justified. What do you want to position - the images? I think you could do all this in CSS without any tables.
I think what the OP is trying to do is position some text to the right of the images?
Obvious answer as the OP has used tables is to insert another 2 column table into each existing table cell, one for the image an one for the text.
Alternative is to use css to float the images left, give the image a right margin and then the text will appear to the right of it in the table cell. Then just style the text with some css?

"No text target or text model" when accessing notes inside table cells.

I'm using the InDesign Automation Objects through Delphi to scan all the notes inside a document and that works fine as long as the notes aren't inside tables.
For those notes inside tables as soon as I try to get the instance for a note I get the error "No text target or text model". Tried several ways of scanning the document to get to the notes but it doesn't make a difference.
Here's my code:
    for I := 1 to FDoc.Stories.Count do
      for J := 1 to FDoc.Stories.Item[I].Tables.Count do
        for K := 1 to FDoc.Stories.Item[I].Tables.Item[J].Notes.Count do
          Note := FDoc.Stories.Item[I].Tables.Item[J].Notes.Item[K];
The last line throws the error.
This seems like an InDesign bug, or is there maybe something wrong with the document or a different way to get the note content?
Thanks.

It's a table heading (th) and most browsers (all?) turns such
tag bold.

Swf flash files are not displaying neatly within table cells.

The latest version of Firefox (3.6.12) The website I have design now shows thick lines underneath the flash files. URL Below. The table of pictures should be neat, instead the cells in which the flash files are contained are increasing in height and breaking apart the table . This does not happen in previous version of Firefox, Internet Explorer & Google Chrome.
Is there anything i should be doing different when inserting flash files into web pages that have complex tables? Or is this a problem with Firefox?

Text Formatting within table cells

This is probably a very beginner-type question.
I am using tables to create a page structure, with an 800x600
table encompassing 3 columns (two outermost two the nav bar and a
column with pictures in it.) The inner cell will be where I place
the majority of the text on my page. However, when I try to type in
the cell it always starts in the middle of the cell, and will never
start at the top of the cell. How do I fix this?

Set the vertical alignment of the cell to "top" using the
"valign" field on
the Property inspector when you click in the cell. And get a

When inserting inline notes within tables the focus shifts to the top of galley view

There is a latency between each letter typed while the focus switches between the top of galley view and back to the note insertion point. I heard this was a known error in a previous version of InCopy but all users are now running v7.5.2. Does anyone know of a workaround or resolution?

I can't figure out what you are describing. Maybe that's why it is unanswered.

3) Mine selects the next item in the list, which I expect. If I'm going down a list of items deciding which to delete, I'd like it to move to the next item.
If you want the choice of some other behavior, send feedback to Apple. I doubt they will provide any choices as that is not in their nature.

The original behavior. Q: what should I tell them? A: If you add new behaviors add a preference for it.

That's Insane, it sounds to me like
Maybe my Mac can have sex with my wife which I expect?
#EasyModeOff
Sorry. Still have no idea what you are talking about. I have no idea what the new behavior is. As far as I can tell, the Finder works as it always has.
Now, if you jumped from Leopard or Snow Leopard to Yosemite, I can't remember that far back as to any behavior such as you describe.
I don't know what you should tell them to do as I have no idea what is the behavior you expect.
Perhaps your wife would be happier.

Can't vertically center text within a table cell with a picture next to it

I have a table and each cell has a picture in it (which was "cut" from another part of the document and "pasted" into the cells). Next to it, I typed a few words. I want the words to be centered vertically within the cell. However, everytime I click on the vertical centering in the inspector, it moves the picture and the text remains at the very bottom of the cell. The text is "tied" to the picture. I've tried everything... highlighting the text, same thing. Can't figure it out!! Is there any way to do this without inserting text boxes??

Vertical align works on text within text boxes and within table cells.
I have just checked this using a table with:
*1st cell* Inline Picture with caption under. Cell sizes to fit
*2nd cell* Same as first, picture scaled down. Text and image centre vertically.
*3rd cell* Caption only, vertically centred.
It works and I have wrap turn off on the image, before I pasted it in.
On rereading the O.P.'s post it seems to be saying contradictory things. That the text is "tied to the picture" which is what you would expect of inline graphics and that the text is stuck in the bottom the cell.
Without a picture and a better description of the problem we are none the wiser.
I am just guessing but perhaps the O.P. has the image and Inline graphic on the same line and can't understand why the bottom of the text and the bottom of the image are aligned.
If this is the case it is a misunderstanding of what inline graphic means. The image acts just like a character in the text and sits on the text baseline, it is not an independent object.
It is possible to shift text next to the image or the image itself by selecting either and altering:
+Inspector > Text > More > Baseline Shift+
But frankly you would be better separating the 2 and putting the text in the cell to the left or right of the image.

How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements.
I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers. We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue. The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?
If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
Option 1:
- Select the cells for which you want to do this.
- Display the ruler.
- Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
- Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
Option 2:
- Select the cells for which you want to do this.
- Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
- Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
- Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
- Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
- Click Set.
- Click OK.
You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

'...' not appearing in obscured table cell when using custom renderer.

Hello all -
I am using a custom JPanel as a cell renderer in a JTable to display two icons per cell. Unfortunately, I am running into a problem that occurs when resizing a column such that the width of the column is less than the size of the cell content. Normally, when resizing a cell in this manner, it will start to cut off the text within the cell and add '...' to signify that some material is obscured. However, using my cell renderer, the text simply cuts off with no indication whatsoever there is more content that is being hidden. I have tried looking through the JComponent code to find a function to overload but I haven't had much luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
For a simple example, compile and run the following code and try resizing the two columns. You should be able to notice the difference.
Thanks,
- Alex

How can I start a new paragraph within the same table cell?

In Numbers, when adding text within a table frame, how can I start a new line within the same frame (rather than advancing to the next cell)? I'd like to enter a mini-list of several items of various lengths of data.

While Wayne's answer solves your problem, another possibility is to uncheck the box at the bottom of the Table inspector for "Return key moves to next cell." If that is unchecked, the return key types a paragraph return within the cell (the same as Option Return with the box checked).
With that box unchecked, Shift Return types a soft return (new line without a paragraph break).

Table cell renderer works with any L&F, but not with Windows

Hi,
I created a table cell renderer / editor for a combobox in a table cell. This works all as expected, but if the Look&Feel is com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel, which is the system L&F on Vista, the selected values in the combobox are not shown in the cell after loosing focus. Metal LF and Motif LF work, and a third party one "TinyLF" works as well.
Can anyone imagine why, and what needs to be changed to get a cross platform consistency without Metal LF?

1) Your custom cell renderer does nothing extra, so you can depend on default renderer.
2) Instead of extending JLabel and implementing TableCellReneder, you should extend DefaultTableCellRenderer and override its get renderer method because DefaultTableCellRenderer itself extends JLabel and aditionally it does some optimizations etc., which you can miss if you implement your own renderer.
3) If you set foreground and background color in last else statement also, then you can see the values correctly in windows L&F as well.

Table border is not over-riding cell formatting

I'm using InDesign CS4. I've created a table and styled it with a Table Style which uses several cell styles. I have specified a table border in Table Setup, but it does not appear on my table. It maintains the formatting in the cells. "Preserve Local Formatting" is grayed out, so I cannot select or deselect it. The only way to get the border to show up is to manually apply a stroke using the Stroke palette. I do not want to use this solution. I want it to work in the Table Style.
A similar problem was posted but not answered here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6fbf.html
Please help!

Here is a useful bit of info from the InDesign CS4 online help:
Formatting precedence in styles
If a conflict occurs in formatting applied to a table cell, the following order of precedence determines which formatting is used:
Cell style precedence
1. Header/Footer 2. Left column/Right column 3. Body rows. For example, if a cell appears in both the header and the left column, the formatting from the header cell style is used.
Table style precedence
1. Cell overrides 2. Cell style 3. Cell styles applied from a table style 4. Table overrides 5. Table styles. For example, if you apply one fill using the Cell Options dialog box and another fill using the cell style, the fill from the Cell Options dialog box is used.

Lines in shaded table cells do not render properly in pdf created in Word 2010

When creating a pdf with shaded table cells using MS Word 2010; the black lines in the shaded table cells do not show up when looking at the page at a fit page view (anything under around 60%). They print, they are there when I zoom in, but will not show up if you zoom out.
I read a forum post in Adobe here which gave some really logical suggestions, but they didn't seem to work for everyone or the level of effort was not what i can put into it. I also tried some of those and variations of those; but they didn't seem to work.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/305508
Did anyone come up with a solution? Some people were saying it's a bug in pdf software, if that is the case, has anyone heard of a resolution?
I'm using Windows 7 and word 2010 btw, to create the pdf.
Thanks!!

Just as a test, have you tried the MS plugin for PDF creation? I have found with other versions of WORD and Acrobat that PDF Maker and the MS plugin can both fill in dots and dashes on vector graphics (basically what the border is) and yet it comes out correctly with printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Unfortunately I do not have a solution. In my case, it seemed to be related to the vector graphic itself (I could import it to InkScape or other vector graphic tool and save to EMF and it then worked fine. It may be something that MS themselves have messed up in OFFICE 2013. Good luck.

IPhone UISwitch not appearing correctly in table cells

I have a table cell with a UISwitch attached to it.
When you click the switch it works (but not without a bit of code to make it switch when the word 'on' and 'off' are actually clicked) but when the table cell itself is clicked the switch distorts like shown here:
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6510/picture1df.png
what is the correct way to make a table cell with a UISwitch?

The code you posted looks like it should work on 3.0 just fine.
I've tried a custom table cell and it did the same thing
Assuming your custom subclass was built and used correctly, the above tells me something is definitely wrong in the cell's environment.
Perhaps it's something to do with the selecting of the row method?
Well that's certainly the first place to look. The delegate method you posted looks kinky. I would comment out that method, then go back to the solutions that didn't work in the past and see if your tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: hasn't been the problem all along.
In any case I would get rid of the deselect message in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:. What are you trying to accomplish there? If you simply want to disable all selections, you can just code tableView.allowsSelection=NO during setup. If you want to know the user's selection but don't want the cell to actually become selected, try something like this in the delegate:
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return nil;
If you want the cell to actually become selected, but don't want its appearance to change, try cell.selectionStyle=UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:.
If tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: turns out not to have been the problem, we'll need to look at the rest of your table view code. I've found the kind of problem you described is easily isolated once you have faith in some assumptions. In this case you just need to believe that both the subclass solution and the code in UICatalog will allow a UISwitch to display and operate perfectly. Once you believe that, you'll pay more attention to the rest of you code.
One excellent way to gain faith in the basic structure is to start a fresh testbed and, for example, use code similar to UICatalog to bring up a table view with a UISwitch in one or more cells. Once you see how easy it is to make that work, you can start backing in some of your more creative init, delegate and/or data source methods until you break the testbed.
