Problems with tables in InDesign CS4

Since recently upgrading to CS4, I’ve been having issues with editing strokes in tables. The problem occurs after working on a table for a while-- where at first I’m able to edit stroke color and weight fine, but then after a period of time it becomes buggy and I’m no longer able to make further edits to the column/row strokes, such as not being able to set the stroke color to none. The only partial work around I’ve found is to quit InDesign and re-launch, then reopen the document, at which point I can then edit the table strokes—but only for awhile until the problem begins again and I have to repeat the process of quitting and restarting. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and might know of a fix (or better work around), or if it’s a known bug in CS4. I never remember this happening with table editing in CS3. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not fond of tables. Never been able to make table styles work correctly.
My method for dealing with strokes is to selct the cell(s) and use the proxy in the control panel to set the stroke or strokes I want to edit, then change the attirbutes. I find sometimes I need to change the weight, other times the stroke type or even sometimes both. If you've applied a troke to one cell that is shared with another, then go to the other cell, I find you have to explicitly choose that stroke again to modify it.

  • Problem with table formatting

    I'm having a lot of problems with tables not reflecting their formatting when I open them in a browser. I've tried opening in Safari, Firefox & Camino with the same results. For example, a row with the following html content has a much larger height & aligns the text to the top when opened in a browser:
    <tr>
              <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
              </td>
            </tr>
    If it matters, this is a row in a table nested in another table. Here's the code down to the row in question (all tags are closed properly in the remaining code):
    <table width="600" border="2" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
          <td align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/events.jpg" width="250" height="35"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td align="left" valign="top">
          <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
              <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
              </td>
            </tr>
    I am using a style sheet for text. Here's the code for "h6" if that matters:
    h6 {
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #660099;
    Any ideas is appreciated. This is driving me nuts. Spacing and alignment sometimes work and sometimes don't work. Dreamweaver is supposed to make such things easier!
    Kevin

    Header tags are usually used round a bit of text, not parts of a table, and if you don't specify the margins on them, can force different amounts of space below in different browsers. Try making the bottom margin on h6 zero, and confine it to text within a cell.
    Also, if you can upload your page somewhere and let us have the url it will be easier to troubleshoot.

  • Problem with tables -- need help!

    I am having problems with table formatting, when using
    Preformatted text. The tables look fine in the WYSIWYG editor, but
    have lots of extra space above and below the text when looking at
    the output files.
    I will attach the code from one of the HTML files from my
    project, so you can see what I'm talking about.
    Thanks.

    Well, if you're talking about the single-celled table with
    the line:
    <p class=Preformatted>[assembly:
    Ace.AceAssembly]</p>
    </pre>
    ... you can eliminate the <P> tags. that will give you
    one line less. Otherwise, your remaining space is the result of the
    <PRE> tag. It, like the <XMP> tag, gives it one line of
    space beneath as well.
    Your alternative beyond that would be to, when needed, wrap
    up the script in Javascript. That line, for instance, wouldn't need
    it.

  • What could be the problem with table REGUH

    Hi,
    Using SPACE against the keys (LAUFI, LAUFD - specifically LAUFD) will most likely return no results. LAUFD, being one of the keys and the date which the program is supposed to run (considering that this is settlement data - it has already run) - implies that this field will be populated.  Putting " = SPACE" in your where clause is saying that you want to find records from the table where those fields are not populated.  That is fine for LAUFI, considering it is the indicator for a proposal only. In my requirement, my client did not want to see proposals but only real payment runs - therefore, LAUFI = SPACE is correct. 
    The reason you are having poor performance while selecting form this table is because it is a cluster table like bseg.  This thread explains a little bit of why cluster tables are a performance nightmare when trying to select - although it is about bseg, you will get the idea:
    http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/sap/db2/archives/select-from-bsegrfblg-performance-problem-14247
    I'm trying to find an alternative to get bank account information regarding payments - I will post a reply if I am lucky to find one! 
    Good luck

  • Problem with Table control lines

    Hi Friends,
    This is the problem with table control lines:
    I have screen with table control and I would like change the table control lines dynamicaly.
    Exp:
    In my PBO the Internal table which I am using to loop the TC is havig 7 records and its displayed with 7 records, now I have added one more record into my ITAB and now ITAB is having 8 records, when I am looping this ITAB with TC its taking the TC lines 7 only.
    here is the code:
    Initial values in gt_scr400 = 8
    Initial values in tc_scr400 = 8
    Now added one more recor into gt_scr400 , now gt_scr400  = 9.
      LOOP AT   gt_scr400
           INTO wa_scr400
           WITH CONTROL tc_scr400
           CURSOR tc_scr400-current_line.
      ENDLOOP.
    I have used this logic :
      DESCRIBE TABLE gt_scr400 LINES g_rec_300 .
      tc_scr300-lines = g_rec_300.
    but its not modifying the lines in my table control.
    How to change the TC lines based on ITAB total records.
    Thanks,
    Sridhar

    there is a field in TableViewName-xxx
    don't remember the exact field name for (total no of records)
    you can check it in debug.  when you add records in Internal table, u need to modify this field which is set at the first time when table control is populated.

  • Problem with table paging [PDK for NET]

    Hi All,
    I have a problem with table paging in PDK for .NET (ver 2).
    The Table has 14 visible rows.
    The lead selection is set to "SINGLE"
    When the user selects a row I can use
    Table1.SelectedKeys(0) Mod Table1.VisibleRowCount
    in order to get the info of the selected row.
    If I will page using the "Prev/Next" page of the Table UI element it will also work.
    However, when I press "Prev/Next" item and then select a row it chooses the wrong row.
    (See picture: http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3882/table5tq.jpg)
    What can I do in order to solve the problem?
    Thanks,
    Omri

    Hi Omri,
    how are you doing ?
    The SAPTable is similar to a DataGrid control and need to be bound to the datasource on every postback
    a good idea is to keep the dataset available in the page or on the server ( so that you dont need to keep making expensive fetch operations
    The selected row is affected by the recordset (dataset) and needs additional programming
    A work around for the selected row issue is to save it in a server side hidden variable (or anything that will persist) and read and set the value in the page / next button handler
    with respect,
    amit

  • Importing xml with xslt in InDesign CS4

    Hello All,
    i need someone's help who's an expert at xml and xslt features of InDesign CS4.
    i work in publication, besides our magazines we produce yearbooks with lots of repetative information fields in them. we get the data in xml fromat which we flow in to InDesign. the xml files are very simple, here's an example:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <Root>
    <Story>
          <Country> Afganistan </Country>
    <Company_ID>
       <Company_Name> Kam Air </Company_Name>
       <Company_Code> 1 </Company_Code>
       <Address_text> 1205 Qalla Fatuha </Address_text>
       <Address_text> P.O.Box 456 </Address_text>
       <Address_text> Kabul </Address_text>
       <Address_text> 22004 </Address_text>
       <Address_text> Afganistan </Address_text>
       <Telephone_text> Telephone: +93 20 2200 108 </Telephone_text>
       <Fax_text> Fax: +93 20 2200 110 </Fax_text>
       <Email_text> E-mail: [email protected] </Email_text>

       <Job_code> A1 </Job_code>
    </Company_ID>
         <Country> Albania </Country>
    etc.
    </Story>
    </Root>
    the problem is we don't want <Company_Code> and <Job_code> elements displayed in the InDesign file.
    so we created an xslt file that shoud get rid of these two unwanted elements (obviously the xml file above was pointed to this xslt file)
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <Root>
    <Story>
      <Country>
    <xsl:for-each select="Company_ID">
       <Company_ID>
          <xsl:value-of select="Company_Name"/>
          <xsl:value-of select="Address"/>
          <xsl:value-of select="Telephone_text"/>
          <xsl:values-of select="Fax_tex"/>
          <xsl:value-of select=Email_text"/>
          <xsl:value-of select="Website_text"/>
          <xsl:value-of select="Personel_text"/>
          <xsl:value-of select="Pesronelmail_text"/>
       </Company_ID>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </Story>
    </Root>
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    but it doesn't work. could someone tell me what's wrong with the xslt file? or what would the correct xslt file look like?
    Thanks everyone!

    Here's the sort of thing I mean in more detail.
    First, the XML file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

    @Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
    But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
    Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
    That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
    After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
    Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

  • Problem with tables in pdf

    Hey,
    I converted my final master's thesis to pdf with the Adobe Acrobat Pro. Everything worked out fine, even all the graphs etc... but there's a small problem with my tables: I only have horizontal lines to separate the heading from the rest, but there are small marks where the hidden vertical lines cross the horizontal lines....they don't show in the word-file, only the pdf. Anybody know this problem and a solution to it?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    OH

    This is likely a result of the display resolution you used when you created the PDF (under advanced in the properties). The default is 1200, that creates problems on a 96 dpi screen. If you zoom, you will likely see the lines. A fix is to change the setting to about 300 dpi or so.
