Pages + Tables = Problem

I was hoping that the last update corrected the error, but it is happening.
If I press the return button, the entire table is moved.

Many, many, many thanks! You Achieve to do what a call of two hours with support could not resolve.

Pages Table Problem

Hi- my office is attempting a switch from Word to Pages and have come to a major problem with the tables in Pages.
Is there a way to keep the text within a cell continuing to the next page? When we do this, the cell automatically begins on the next page, leaving blank space on the previous page. We are using a header, footer and heading rows repeat on this document if that makes any difference.
We've gone through previous discussions here and tried those solutions (ex. pagination, wrap inspector, etc) but nothing worked.
Is Apple aware of this problem? Is there a patch in the works?
Looking forward to hearing any possible solutions.
Thanks!

Hello
Not a bug, just a feature.
I already responded in:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284099&tstart=45
You may *go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish but I would be surprised if Apple changes the choice they made: *a cell must not cross a page break*.
The only workaround is : divide you cell's contents so that each part fit in one page height.

Smart form problem with multiple pages & table problem

Hi experts,
I have a problem with my smart form with multiple pages
Situation: I have a smart form that ALWAYS has at least 2 pages. In one page the quotation, in the second page (basically this is the 3rd page as the 2nd page is optional) the terms and conditions. Sometimes however, when there are many items in the quotation more than 1 page is needed for the quotation.
The (optional) second page of a quotation has a different header than the first page of a quotation. So I made a second page with 2 secondary windows (where the header texts are in). The main window is after the secondary windows and has to finish the quotation.
The problem is that my headers of the second page are never printed, it stays a blank space. The table however does continue and is printed.
Another problem I have is that I have a table (with the quotations) with 6 columns. The first 2 columns are displayed correctly but once the 3rd column the columns are shown on a lign below.
Regards,
PJ

I would suggest another approach to this problem.
Use just one page. For the headers on the first page, use a secondary window and on the conditions tab, choose the additional event - Only on First Page.
For the different header on the second page, create another secondary window on the same page (probably even overlapping the first header on your layout). But in this one, on the conditions tab, choose the additional event - Not on First Page.
The table should flow as you would be using the Main window for this one.
As for columns, if they are too wide and wont fit in the same line, it would move to the next line. So you would have to re-adjust the line width and test.
Hope this resolves your problem.
Regards,
Ancy

Table Problem x2 within Pages: 1) In the Header; 2) Maintaining a table's starting point when carrying over to the next page.

Pages '09 v4.1
Problem 1:
     I am working with a 2-column Page document. Its my goal to have three items listed in a header in particular positions. Far left shows the paragraph number the page starts with, in the center is a title of the contents of the page, and on the far left is the last paragraph number to appear. To place these three items in the desired positions requires the insertion of a lot of spacing on both sides of the 'centered' title along with counting the characters of the title to find its center to alighn with the center of the page. 253 pages of this to will qualify me to be labled with a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I don't want OCD.
     However, by installing a one row/3 column table in the header my task was made a lot easier in alighnments. But, another problem reared up. Within the header underneath the table is a vertical space remaining. This vertical 'tallness' is equivalent to the font size of 10. Its taking up too much space between the header and the text. It needs to be reduced or eliminated.
     On the left-hand page I am able to reduce the font as far down as '1'. I've settled on using '3'. However, on the right-hand page the font will not accept any size selections be they less or more and remains stubbornly at font 10. Within a Header that does not have a table, I am able to change the font of both left and right pages.
     Is there a another way to approach what I desire for the header other than installing a table in it? Is there a way to alter the font on the right hand pages?
Problem 2:
     Whenever I create a table following text already on a page all is right until the table's growth in construction laps over to the next page. At that point the first row snaps to the top of the following page leaving an undesired area (space) between the last line of the text on the preceding page. Whenever I attempt to drag the table to the desired position it snaps back. This only happens when the table is larger than the remaining area of the page. If the table is started at the top of an unused page and runs beyond the confines of that page than it continues as expected onto the next page duplicating the table header. But to do this it must begin at the top of an unused page. Is there a means to have a table placed in the remaining space of a page and what does not fit continues to the next page in effect having a partial of the table on each page?
So there you have it. Christmas is over and its back to work. Thank-you for your attention.

Regards re-positioning a table:
I went to Inspector>Wrap>Object Placement/Inline (moves with text) and found that the inline option was selected. Some of the rows within the table have two lines of text. Again, I dragged the table to the desired position on a page that is partially composed with text and got the same results as before - the table snapping back to the top of the following page where it initially resided. In this current position the 2-page table does break as it should on the following 3rd page. Below is a schematic of the appearance of the 2-pages involved.
Page 1 left side.
TEXT 1-line as 1-column
TABLE (5-rows)
TEXT (2-columns) 14-lines left column and 13-lines right column.
[Layout Break] otherwise the above textual columns would be all on the left side of the page.
TEXT 1-line as 1-column
* The desired insertion point for a two page table on a page that is 40% filled with the above descriptions.
Page 2 right side.
A 2-page table flowing or breaking into a 3rd page.
Page 3 left side.
The overflow of the subject table.
[Layout Break]
[Section Break]
Is there some other way to anchor a table to the text other than Inspector>Wrap>Object Placement/Inline (moves with text)?

IF Form region AND report + search tool in same page THEN = problem

Helllo everybody
I posted an initial and now the advanced as I received helpful comments but still is unsolved:
Problem:
If I have a Form, and a Report With a Search feature on the same page the problem is that when I click on the button of Search to find records in the Report, the page reloads as it goes and returs to the server. Alright, however, that reloading causes the Form to submit data while there is no data because I was not working with the Form. When the report gets the "submission of the Form" it receives all empty data and it complains as it cannot have Null values in its rows.
Solution:
The thing would be to tell the form not to submit anything unless expressley pressed the button Create or Save. It seems that these buttons activate when the page is reloaded I mean reloaded by haiving pressed the button Search of the Reports region.
The helpful comments were in the direction of going to Processes, Automatic Row Processing and then choosing a conditional for processing of the Form, that it, it would only activate (submit itself if that condition is met)
So I go to PL/SQL Function body Returning a boolean and I paste this: RETURN :REQUEST IN('SAVE','CREATE');
but the problem continues unsolved, that doesnt help. It must be very close but there is something I am missing
thank you very much
Alvaro

Table Problems after Word Export from RH8

I am running RoboHelp HTML 8 as part of Technical Communications Suite 2 on Windows XP Professional and exporting to Word 2007. This is a recent upgrade. Previously, I was just running RoboHelp 8 without TCS. All of the Adobe software is completely patched and up-to-date.
The help system I am converting to Word is large and results in over 600 pages of Word content with a lot of tables (generally just for data presentation and not layout purposes). I'm also using build tags and single-sourcing this document to another, shorter document that is over 400 pages long.
I have exported various documents from RoboHelp to Word many, many times before, and although I don't like the amount of reformatting I have to do, I'm used to the effort involved. However, the behavior seems to have changed recently.
These days (possibly after the conversion to TCS?), after I export the help system to Word, all tables are set to have the text wrap around them (Table Properties | Table | Text wrapping | Around). Before, this setting always defaulted to no wrapping. I wouldn't mind this, because I could simply set the tables to have no wrapping, but even after I do so, the full functionality of tables is still not available to me. For example, I can't set to header row to repeat across pages (Layout ribbon | Repeat Header Rows). I also can't set rows to not break across pages (Table Properties | Row | Allow to break across pages). In fact, I can't select a single row of the table generally without selecting the entire table. My coworker found out that you can copy each table into Word Pad and then copy it back into Word as a workaround, but that is extremely tedious. We already waste a lot of time reformatting these documents for various other reasons.
As a (probably irrelevant) footnote, I convert to .doc rather than .docx, because RoboHelp crashes when I export to .doc. I then save the .doc as a .docx file to conserve file size. The same problem exists in both file formats.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi, Peter. Thank you for your thoughtful response.
Yes, after exporting to Word, I couldn't set the tables' heading rows to repeat and couldn't select individual rows. Also, if I selected the entire table, normally Word would offer me the option to convert the table to text. However, Word seems to think that the table isn't a table, so instead it offers me the option to convert the text to a table. Good times. :-)
I write the above in the past tense, however, because I discovered a solution. I found a table in the Word output that didn't have the problem, possibly the only one of its kind in the project. In RoboHelp, I compared the HTML source of that table to a table that did have the problem. I discovered that the problematic table had two HTML tags that the unproblematic table did not: <?rh-align_start align="left" ?> and <?rh-align_end ?>. I deleted the tags and presto! The problem was fixed for this table in the Word output. This worked for a couple of other bad tables as well, so I decided to do a global find and replace. Using Find and replace in files in RoboHelp, I replaced each of these tags with nothing (i.e., a null value, essentially deleting them). Searching for the entire string didn't detect all instances, so I searched again for "rh-align" only and found about 50 instances, which I manually corrected in the HTML source.
So far, so good!
I didn't try the options you suggested, but I was suspecting a template problem as well. Thank God it wasn't because I wasn't relishing the prospect of tracking that down.
And yes! We tried your macros. Actually, the world-class tech writer Sue McKinney, who works with me, tried it, and she says it took three minutes to reformat the rows in the tables so they wouldn't break, which is a requirement of ours. We look forward to implementing the other table-related macro functionality you developed. Thanks for providing it for our use!

Revision Bars in multi-page tables.

When I have a one-page table in FM 8.0, I can get the Rev Bars to be a solid line. However, if the table spans more than one page, the Rev Bars will only appear broken up at each cell. Is there a way to fix this?

As background, you probably know this already, but the way the change bars work is that they are actually applied to the text within cells, so that's why the bar itself is the same height as the leading size on the paragraph. The row and table setting for space above/below the text and cell is what breaks up the solid change bar line.
One thing that makes the change bars "separate" is if the table has varying paragraph styles in cells, the height of the change bar depends on whether the change is applied to a larger or a smaller paratag.
Sometimes the separation can be controlled by applying a fixed row height to all the rows, but of course that sometimes can't be accommodated because of the design or content of the table.
Another issue is whether you use column balancing or feathering in the document.
Perhaps other folks will jump in with some advice -- and I'll dig through my archives too, as I know I've come across this problem in the past.

Multi-page tables crashing in InDesign

Could anyone please provide some general advice about working with multi-page tables in InDesign, which appear to be very unstable.
Over the past year or so, my team and I have worked with InDesign 5 and 5.5 on both Mac (10.6) and Windows (XP and 7) machines. In that time we have found if there’s one thing that will cause InDesign to crash it’s a table that runs over several pages and particularly (though not exclusively) if it’s got merged cells. Add that extra row, merge that extra cell, even just insert your text cursor as you prepare to change some text and InDesign seems to reach a point where the “straw breaks the donkey’s back” and it falls over. At least it usually has the courtesy to reopen at exactly the point where the crash occurs with all the other changes that have been made still in place, whether they have been manually saved or not.
The really weird thing is that sometimes the same file will crash on all the machines at the same point (as you would expect) but sometimes the files which crash on Windows machines will work fine on Macs and the files which crash on Macs will work fine on Windows machines. There doesn’t appear to be much of a consistent pattern to what’s going on.
However, the solutions are always the same. First, unmerge any merged cells and adjust the border/fill commands to hide the fact they are now unmerged and then, if that doesn’t work, split the table up into separate chunks and put them into a separate text box on each page - that always seems to fix the problem, although the benefits of linked text boxes are now lost.
I’ve had a scoot round the web and on these forums and whilst I can find quite a lot of material on this topic, there doesn’t appear to be anything that relates to our issue directly. I realise that I haven’t given specific information on what happens to us because it’s just something that happens every so often and we’re usually working so fast that there’s no time to carry out a detailed analysis of what’s going on, we just fix it and carry on. I’d be grateful if anyone could offer a general overview of what’s happening and maybe suggest some preventative measures we could take to reduce/eliminate the chances of this happening in the future.
As always, thanks in advance for any and all advice offered.

Hi folks,
I have a similar problem with several dokuments running tables over 20 to 30 pages. Since InDesign CS5 I have crashes on random times and issues. I have built up the whole Document from scratch, because I thought saving them from older versions might cause the problem. I have started with a new document editing a table that runs over 5 pages with no merged cells in it which I had before. Now InDesign starts to crash again.
– It crashes when I type more text than fits in the table cell
– It crashes when I try to apply the standard paragraph style
– It crashes altough I have saved an .idml-File to clean it
– The problem appears in CS6 and CC also
– I have tried copy/paste to a new document, which worked until I copied a particular table row. Then it started to crash again.
Something weird I recognized is that all umlauts (I'm writing german text) are shown with wrong symbols in Story Editor (Textmodus) but not in the table itself. Maybe there lies the main problem?

Older Business HTML and Dynamic Page Table question

I am not sure if anyone will know here (or if this is the best place to post), but I have a question concerning using the Business HTML template library controls/API for use with ITS. I am attempting to use the "Dynamic Page Table" control, and have hit some problems. Does anyone have any example code they can share on getting this to work correctly (ie, paging through records, selecting from rows, etc)? I have "torn apart" the underlying Javascript and even modified my code to adjust for some formatting issues that the API's do not handle, however, my "pages" all display at once in the beginning and only hide when I use one of the paging icons (forward,back,all back, etc). THe "isVisible" parameter seems to do nothing for the "page" DIVs. Currently running the latest version of ITS and R/3 4.6b on the backend if that helps. Also, the example from the SAP Design Guild cookbook is very basic and does not "page" as I need. Thanks in advance!

Page personalization problem

Dear all,
Hope you all are in good health.
I am facing a problem regarding page personalization.
I would like to add some fields in "Personal information" using page personalization.
I have the privilege and diagnostics is enabled also.
When i going to add an Item i.e.MessageInputText i would like to mention a VO as well as Attribute for saving input data into the table
And i would like to view that data into another page filed(MessageStyledText).
*From about this page tab i am getting the VO name from that entry page bt problem is that with which Attribute should i map my field.
And if there is no more free attribute of my VO what will i do?
Edited by: Mofizur Rahaman on Dec 27, 2012 6:33 PM

If the source attribute is not available in your VO then you need to extend the VO. You can refer developer guide for Extending View Object.

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Can items from a list be copied and pasted into a new Pages Table?

In iWork Pages, I have a list of 50's & 60's recording artists and their songs, (which is about 40 pages long) from my '45 rpm record collection for my Jukebox.
Is there any way to copy and paste the artists' names, and their songs into a Pages Table, so that I can sort the artists' names into an alphabetical list?
If there is a way, it would save me a ton of work of typing each name into a Table one at a time.
Thank you,
Jim

Recently, I have had documents of lists that I had wanted to put into a Table afterwards, but there was no way that I could do it.... which brought me to my question to the Forum.....
I had made the artists' listing & songs of about 40 pages, about 7 years ago when I had a PC, and it was done in MS Word, and I haven't worked on it since then.
Being a veritable Newbie at the time, I had put the artists' name in one column, and the song title in another. When I had to insert a new artist and song, I would "Add Row Below" and then type the info in.
Little did I realize at the time that I had created a Table, without knowing it (I told you that I was a Newbie).
So when I started to work on those files this morning for the first time in a number of years, I wondered how could I put all the info from that Word document into a Table in Pages.
Then I could sort Ascending, instead of "Add Row Below" to squeeze the new name in when I wanted to add another artist.
Then I realized after posting the question on this Forum, that it ALREADY WAS in Table form.
I looked into the help section of Pages and found that I could sort the names in the Inspector Box in the Table Tab.
So, sorry to say I didn't discover a new technique of copying a list and then pasting the info into a new Table in one shot......
Sincerely sorry for the false alarm...
Jim

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

Page expire problem in one env of two environments having same code

Hi,
We have an web application deployed into two environments. The application versions and server versions are same in both environments. We are using sun one application server.
When we click on back button (Say Env1) we are getting page exipre problem. The same code is working fine in other env (Say Env2).
We have not coded anywhere to clear the client side information after it is displayed. It looks like there is some server setting using which we can specify not to save any information at client machine.
Can any one of you help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
