Preserving table dimensions in style

Is it possible to preserve the dimensions of a table in a style? I've set up a little table that I will be using multiple times throughout my document (just with different numbers each time). I've got the table style and cell styles set up so that I can quickly apply them. However, I don't see any way to preserve the width and height of the rows or columns. Is that possible? If not, is there an easier way of duplicating the same table besides copying and pasting? As far as I can tell, I can't save the table as a snippet or in the library or anything like that. Any ideas?
Thanks, Phyllis

Thanks Peter,
That's a good idea. I liked having the text in the frame so that the spacing was exact, but I imagine I can have it separate and use it as an anchored object and have the spacing work just as well. I hadn't thought of that. I'll give that a shot.
I don't work with tables a lot either so this is new for me. They do look like they'll be handier in some situations though.
Thanks, Phyllis

Is there a Preserve Image Dimension when Relinking Setting in Framemaker 9?

Hi,
I am using Framemaker 9 (structured Frame) and would like to know if there is a setting (similar to InDesign) that preserves image dimensions when relinking. In InDesign, you can turn this setting off so that the updated linked graphic will not scale or move in the document. Does Framemaker have a similar setting? We use Illustrator CS3 to create graphics. These graphics are then saved to Adobe Acrobat X Pro PDF files. I Import by Reference the PDF file using the Grahic element in Structured Framemaker. If I make any changes to the graphic file in Illustrator, the graphic that was imported into the Framemaker document shifts inside the anchored frame and then I have to recenter all the updated graphics in Framemaker. Is there a setting in Framemaker that will allow me to update a graphic file in Illustrator without having to recenter it in Framemaker?
I currently have the following File Handling & Clipboard options selected in Illustrator:
Copy AS:
-PDF
-AICB (no transparency suuport)
-Preserve Appearance and OverPrints
But, these settings do not seem to help much for the imported graphic files in Framemaker.
I appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you for your help.

*** haven't checked, because I don't have any pre-9.0 files easily available *** ... but from what I remember, if you're really just viewing the files in 9.0 you should need to save them explicitly back to an earlier version. FM may mark the files as "changed" when it opens them, but that's because it checks things like datestamps and cross-references. If you do not, yourself, explicitly change any content in the file you have opened, you don't need to save the changes; just close the file unsaved. Check my supposition with a couple of files before relying on it! And other people will be able to give you a more detailed explanation of why file you haven't touched yourself still show up as "changed".

Problem in updating fa_additions SQL Error: ORA-01779: cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved table

Hi,
After using sql loader to import informations in the table fa_mass_additions and after the functionnal uses a treatment to imputate this assets, it asks me to do an update on the table fa_additions to change the value of attribute1 but i get an error
Error report:

please how can i do this update?

Hi,
The "fa_additions" is a view, not a table.
You should update the base table "fa_additions_b".

Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking

Is there a way to change the preference "Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking" from scripting? This setting is accessible in the user interface ( in the Edit menu / Preferences / File Handling tab ).
Andreas

I am not sure but try:
app.imagePreferences.preserveBounds = true;
// If true, preserve image bounds when relinking.

Hi,
As the error message sugggested, INSERT directly into the sales table. You can get the values from a sub-query that joins whatever tables are needed, including sales itself. MERGE might be simpler and more efficient than INSERT.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as INSERT, the sample data will be the contents of the table(s) before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Preserve image dimensions

Hi I am about to do my ACE exam for ID
So i have been studying away - and am not happy with the 'preseve image dimension' option
Here is a practice question from the adobe site (with supplied answer)
4.1 Given a scenario, determine the best settings for choosing and placing an image
You want to replace an image from a selected frame. The new image is larger than the original
image. You want the new image to be imported at the same scaling percentage as the original.
What should you do?
A. hold down Shift as you click the Relink button in the Links panel
B. hold down Option/Alt as you click the Update button in the Links panel
C. before replacing the image, deselect Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking in the
File Handling pane of the Preferences dialog box
D. before replacing the image, select Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking in the File
Handling pane of the Preferences dialog box
Correct answer: C
BUT it says this in the help file
Choose how relinked graphics are scaled
When you relink to replace one graphic with a different source file, you can keep the image dimensions of the file that’s being replaced, or you can display the incoming file in its actual dimensions.
Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking if you want images to appear at the same size as the images they’re replacing. Deselect this option to have relinked images appear at their actual size
Is this a contradiction or am i being thick
Thanks

Sorry Peter
I think I must have hit it by mistake
But just experimented with it on 6.04
I have image 210x297
I replace this with preserve image dimensions ON -new image is 210x1776
I replace this with preserve image dimensions OFF -new image is 25.013x211.552 --- which is the same size as if imported into a new frame
Doesnt this make the help file correct and the adobe practice exam wrong ?
I assume the original to be the image that is being replaced

ADD a Parameter fixed height from "NI_Word.lvclass:Word Set Table Dimension.ni"

I would add a parameter to fixed or no the dimension height of the row.
It can add a parameter form the Generation Report from "NI_Word.lvclass:Word Set Table Dimension.ni".
Thank you

Cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table at OCI c

Hi All,
Can anybody help me..?
When i am creating the request in the presentation services ..
for some of the columns i am getting the following error..by removing those those columns it's working fine..
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

[nQSError: 17010] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
Please suggest me a solution..
Thanks in Advance...

Looks like you have a view that contains the ROWID of another table. Does the view work first from sqlplus? See whether it returns any data. Its a ORA- specific error. So, the error is related to your view rather than BI EE. Also, how many columns are you trying to pull in your report?

Table of Contents Styles

In the past I've successfully created tables of contents. I created the necessary styles just as I would any other style. I just now noticed a menu item called table of contents styles under Layouts. What's this for? Why is it necessary?

TOC styles are for creating TOCs based on your Paragraph Style.
You have to structure you document complete with paragraph and character styles (which should be done anyway).
Create for each level entry in the TOC a different TOC paragraph style (these are normal Paragraph Styles used for the TOC).
Define a TOC style, where you choose the Paragraph Style which is drawn into the TOC and choose the level and which TOC paragraph style will be used.
You have a great benefit for using these styles:
Changes in the document are reflected automatically (after actualization) in the TOC.
Automatic page numbers.
Several TOC in one document (Chapters, Tables, Images, Mathematical or Chemical Forms, etc.)

How can I export table and cell styles to use in another InDesign document?

I've been looking…and looking but can't find out how to export table styles within InDesign CC. If there is a load table styles option within the panel, it stands to reason there should be an export. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Frank, John's solution is it. But that also requires that you have those old files easily on hand to access. Maybe even searching for them in the future, 3 months down the road, could be a pain. You can always save a Library for that file and drag some of those styled elements into that library. Save the library in a place that you will keep access to and readily pull assets from. In the future doc open that library and drag the styled element into your new document and the styles are now in the new doc to reuse. I have a library saved just for tables.

Custom HTML importer/exporter, how to preserve HTML id, class, style

I need to implement a custom XHTML importer/exporter and CSSFormatResolver.
If I for example have a p-element: <p id="p1" class="xyz" style="margin:0.7em; color:#3300FF">lorem ipsum</p>
How do I map the HTML attributes: id, class and style in order to preserve them in the ParagraphElement in order to use them during the custom CSS cascade process and for custom HTML export purposes (the exporter needs to spit out <p id="p1" class="xyz" style="margin:0.7em; color:#3300FF">lorem ipsum</p> again.
1. is this mapping correct or will this interfere with internal TLF formatting:
HTML attribute
ParagraphElement property
id
id
class
styleName
style
userStyles
2. What is the purpose of FlowElement.coreStyles (where are those styles applied)?
3. What is the actual purpose of FlowElement.userStyles, are those styles just for non TLF (end developer custom) purposes or does TLF use them at any point to set the element format properties?
4. Any other pointers or related (non flex framwork) examples are welcome
Thanks.
Cheers, Benny

Your mapping looks correct to me for id and styleName.
I think what you are saying about style mapping to userStyles is correct. Yes userStyles is an object of key value pairs holding all the non-TLF styles for a FlowElement. coreStyles holds all the TLF styles for a FlowElement. TLF does use userStyles itself for the linkHoverFormat, linkActiveFormat and linkNormalFormat styles.
Setting FlowElement.userStyles TLF will replace the current set of userStyles with those in the supplied Object. That Object will be treated as a dictionary of stylenames and values.
Normally I'd expect you'd use the FlowElement.setStyle API which figures out if a particular style belongs to coreStyles or userStyles and then sets the new style appropriately without changing the others.

Table of Contents - Styles not ordering as I want them to

Hi
This has been driving me crazy! Hopefully someone can help. I have set up a table of contents with 3 styles as so:
1. Chapter heading
2. Page title (with page number)
3. Sub or item headings (from each page where relevant)
However the "item" headings Keep appearing on the line above the page heading. I want them to appear after/below so they clearly illustrate the fact that those are items on that particular page. As far as I can tell I have nothing ticked or checked in the TOC paragraph styles that shouldn't be.
Below is a screenshot of the TOC's where I've marked examples of how this is appearing. Only marked a few but oviously this continues through the list.
If anyone could explain where I'm going wrong it would be most appreciated.... My deadline is looming!
Cheers

Hi Peter
Thank you so much for this. That's worked!
I had the page titles on the top right of each page (see attached). I've just run through the deck and moved all page titles to the left and now it works. You're a godsend!
For future reference though, is there any way around this? I often work with architectural drawings inserted into the pages and the books are often bound on the left edge so, to me, it feels more easy on the eye to have the page title top right. I also thought that the heirarchy in the TOC's "Include Paragraph Style" Pane would govern this regardless of it's placement on the page.
Either way, thanks for your help. First time using the forum and I'm very impressed.
Cheers

Table of contents: Style and numbering

Hi all,
I've already found some information about the page numbers in the Toc here on the forum, so thank you for posting that.
What I can't find is this: I've got my table of contents with the page numbers aligned to the right side. The toc consists all the titles I've used in my Pages document. In this document I gave these titles different numbers, i.e. I've used the styles for creating a list. So in my document I have something like this:
1 Food
1 1 Vegetables
1 1 1 Carrots
text about carrots
1 1 2 Tomatoes
text
1 2 Fruit
1 2 1 Apples
text about apples
1 2 2 Lemons
text about lemmons
2 Drinks
2 1 Hot drinks
2 1 2 Coffee
text..
I don't want to start a discussion about wheter or not a tomato is a fruit or a veg . I would like to know how i get these numbers in my Toc ? Right now I have this toc :
Food 1
Vegetables 1
Carrots 1
Tomatoes 2
Fruit 3
Apples 3
Lemons 4
Drinks 5
Hot drinks 5
Coffee 6
But I want something like this :
1 Food 1
1 1 Vegetables 1
1 1 1 Carrots 1
1 1 2 Tomatoes 2
1 2 Fruit 3
1 2 1 Apples 3
1 2 2 Lemons 4
2 Drinks 5
2 1 Hot drinks 5
2 1 2 Coffee 6
Can somebody show me how to do this ? And also, is there a possibility of changing the text layout in this Toc according to the layout I've used for these titles in my Pages document ?

Actually, yes, it was tedious, but I gave the numbering in the heading styles a fair go. tried my own indented numbering styles. When the doc becomes large enough, the auto-numbering breaks. I write fairly intense technical docs, with legal (or tiered) numbering, I cannot afford either the incorrect numbering, or the ToC not showing the numbered heading.
Typing the number into the heading, and using say 4 heading styles for four level of detail (tiers), works well. But do not start until the doc is fairly stable, and thus the numbers do not change. These numbers show up in the ToC very nicely. You can use didferent ToC Heading styles and make that look good as well.
And, yes, I have requested the feature. What I really want is the heading sytle to remember the indent/tier level and keep track of it; and not get lost in a large doc; THEN showing that number in the ToC.
Cheers
Derek

Table of Contents Style Issue

I am a new user of InDesign 5 and am working with a Table of Contents that was prepared for me in my office. I have updated my text and inserted a few pages into my document and now have some odd formatting showing up in the TOC. I have deleted my text, added it back in, applied different styles and checked to be sure that I don't have any overrides applied. The issue is that the leader (....) seems not to be showing up for about 1/4 of my TOC entries. Any help would be appreciated.
Grainy (sorry) Image below (note items: Filter 4, Import 11, Export 21 as examples)
Thanks!

jclarke2,
You got verify all the styles envolved.
Try first verify this:
For each style included has to be similar like this example. The "entry style" can't be "[Same style]" like on the pic. You have to create one style and verify if don't have any tag besides the leader.
Good luck!

I've used the below style classes in CSS, but still not getting the accurate Column Header Vertical Text. Also, in IE browser column header text is shrinked vertically when headerClass styles are applied!
Any help appreciated!

/*IE6,IE7*/
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3)";
/*IE8*/
-o-transform: rotate(270deg);
/*Opera 10.5*/
-webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);
