Rearranging table rows in Indesign CC

Using InDesign CC, my cursor is not changing to allow me to drag table rows or columns to a new order. What am I missing? I use the text tool, get the black arrow to select a whole column, move into that column and all I see is the insert text icon.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks - yes, that's what the help page told me to do, and which I tried, but it doesn't work.
I can get that kind of behaviour in tables in Numbers, and in tables in Keynote. But Pages doesn't seem to want to cooperate in my document.
I can't even lift and move a single cell. Selecting and holding doesn't work either.
So since posting, I've tried a few different things, including creating a new document - and it works in the new document. But my existing document it doesn't.
However, by unticking the "Resize rows to fit contents" box, suddenly the functionality comes back.
So if anyone else has this same problem, then try unticking (unchecking) that box and maybe it'll work.
All very odd.

  • How do I remove a gap between table rows in InDesign?

    I need help in figuring out how to remove gaps between table rows.  I have tried Table Spacing under Table Set-up, but it doesn't work.
    Here's what I'm working on:
    As you can see there are gaps above the first row and below last row under the header Business Management Technology.  I cannot select that gap.  How do I remove it, so that the first class, 31058, is flush with the black header?  (and the last class, 32675, is flush with the Chemistry header?)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I hadn't considered that, and your example is proof-of-concept. However, now that you made me look closer, I still don't think that's the OP's case, seeing as the text in the OP's header rows appears to span more than one column, belying what I suppose must be merged cells.* The column strokes in the "gap" appear to disqualify it (the gap) as part of a row with merged cells.
    *There is still another possibility that someone "made pictures" of tables with merged cells by overlaying text frames to make the header rows. I've run across all kinds of such "carpentry;" especially when the file may have originated at the desk of someone who avoids or resists use of tables. They find ways to fake them and/or their features.

  • Problem selecting table rows/cells in Indesign CC

    I have a problem when trying to select rows and cells within tables created in Indesign CC. I am using a Macbook Pro on OSX 10.9.4.
    As you can hopefully see from the image attached, I am unable to select cells & rows cleanly. Believe it or not the image attached shows the last 2 rows of the table selected. As I drag the cursor to highlight the cells/rows I want the highlighted section jumps all over the place so it is not clear which section of the table is actually selected.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to what might be causing this I would appreciate your thoughts.
    Thanks
    Craig

    I believe you should be on 9.1, this issue existed in that version and has been fixed in 9.2.1
    I would recommend that you upgrade InDesign CC to at-least 9.2.1

  • Break table row across multiple frames?

    Hi
    I would know wether is possible to split a single table row across serverla frames/pages.
    I´m using InDesign CS5 and when I try to import a big table from word documments (by using de app or by scripting), if a row is bigger than the textFrame, a blank page is generated with the overflow simbol.
    The only way to see that table is by enlarging the textFrame.
    I´ve been reading about this problem, and some news in 2004 reported it was a problem wich will be solved in next releases.
    Is there any way to work arround?
    One option is to split de row in several small rows, but I think the proper solution would be to let the row jump to the next TextFrame (just like word does)
    Thanks in advance

    I can show you a real example.
    http://www.xunta.es/dog/Publicados/2011/20110615/AnuncioC3F1-140611-3147_gl.pdf
    In page 14984 the row with the text "Coruña" span across two pages. Well, in this example, what we did was to convert the table in images. Then the images were put inside each page in InDesign.
    This cell is too big to fit in a frameText and it was shown as empty.
    Other option would be to split the row before the imporation. In this way, InDesign would, automatically jump to the next page.
    The question was if there was any configuration option to implement all this solutions (change the table or convert it to text) without change the table structure.
    Any way, thansk again.

  • 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?

  • View a single table-row as multiple rows in a GridControl

    Hi,
    is it possible to distribute the entries of a single row of a table/RowSetInfo over multiple lines of a GridControl?
    I've seen an example on the Internet (http://www2.gol.com/users/tame/swing/examples/JTableExamples4.html) which does this without database connection but it seems as if it's necessary to replace the default JTable, TableModel and UI by customized ones. As far as I've seen it's not possible to replace the JTable which is used by a GridControl? So is there any other way to do this? (A modification of the JTable-UI itself doesn't suffice as the JTable yields wrong row- and column-numbers on mousclick-events and therefore the components of the second row are not enabled properly).
    Thanks in advance

    You wont be able to replace the JTable. But you can change all the attributes on the internal table which the grid uses (see getTable() method). The datamodel for the grid is impemented by oracle.dacf.control.swing.GridDataSource. You can possibly extend this class. You can also change the Table column model and the renderers used by the Table.

  • Opening a new view in a new window on click of a table row entry.

    Hi Guys,
    How to open a new View of a same application in a new window (just like a pop up) on a click of a Table Row entry?
    I am using NWDS 7.0 version. So please suggest acccorrdingly.

    Hi Nikesh,
    first of all you will have to declare use of onLeadSelect event handler for your table (note that it will only be triggered when a lead selection occurs not a multiselection).
    Also, you can build at design time a View and a Window (for example, PopupWin) in your WebDynpro Component, and embed the view into the window.
    In your code for onLeadSelect function, you can use something like this to pop up the window.
    public void onActionRowSelection(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionSeleccionTabla(ServerEvent)
        IWDWindowManager windowManager = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager();
        IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PopupWin");
        IWDWindow window = windowManager.createModalWindow(windowInfo);
        window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
        window.setWindowSize(new WDCssSize(450, WDWindowUnitOfLength.PX) , WDCssSize.UNDEFINED);
        // Store handle ti window in context attribute to able to close it later
        wdContext.currentContextElement().setPopup(window);
        window.show();

  • How to pass hidden field values on a click of a table row

    hi all,
    href = "bookAndNonBook.do"
    I am very new to struts. I have created a table using displaytable tag which displays results in a tabular format. In addtion, i have a hidden field (prodType), the table rows are getting highlighted when i get my mouse on a particular row.
    Following is the code from the results.jsp file
    <body
    onload="addRowHandlers('row', 'rowMouseOver')"
    bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="100" topmargin="50"
    marginwidth="" marginheight="" rightmargin="30">
    <html:form action="/bookAndNonBook" method="post">
    <display:table name="sessionScope.productSearchList" id="row"
    sort="list" export="true" defaultsort="1" defaultorder="ascending"
    pagesize="15" decorator="org.displaytag.decorator.TotalTableDecorator"
    class="dataTable">
    <display:column property="prodType" title="ProdType" class="prodType"
    headerClass="prodType" media="html" />
    <display:column title="Title" property="titleName" sortable="true"
    class="title" headerClass="title" />
    </display:table>
    </html:form>
    </BODY>
    I am calling a funtion addRowHandlers which passes the table id (which is row) and the rowMouseover for highlighting the rows on mouse over.
    the code for function addRowHandlers is
    function addRowHandlers(tableId, rowClassName) {
    var previousClass = null;
    var table = document.getElementById(tableId);
    var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
    for (i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
    rows.onmouseover = function () {
    previousClass = this.className;
    this.className = this.className + " " + rowClassName ;
    this.style.cursor="hand";
    rows.onmouseout = function () {
    this.className = previousClass;
    this.style.cursor='';
    rows.onclick = function (){
    var cell = this.getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
    var ProdType = cell.innerHTML;
    alert("value of prodType = " + ProdType);
    when i run the above code and click on a particular row it returns me the value in the hidden field i.e. prodType for that particular row
    Now where i am having problem is i want that on the basis of prodType my jsp file should call different actions for different prodType as returned....somwhat a function like this
    function submitProduct(prodType) {
    if(prodType == "BK")
    resultsForm.action = "/bookProduct.do";
    else if(prodType == "NB")
    resultsForm.action = "/nonbookProduct.do";
    but i am unable to figure out that how do i this..
    Any help will be really appreciated
    Thanks
    Sam

    can you please suggest some good struts forums where i can post my question
    thanks in advance

  • Table.rows.find() returns null in a table where the row exists.

    Hi...
    I am working in a Project in Visual Studio 2013 where I have to read an Excel report related with a list of business opportunities. Some of the Fields that are involved in it are:  Opportunity ID, BU, Account, close date, Account Manager,
    Total Value and so on. As soon as I get the conection with the Excel Report, I fill a DataTable and declare the columns [Opportunity ID] and [BU] as my Primary Keys.  In that way, an Opportunity value may have one o more rows
    with different BU code each of them.  In consequence, you can define one row in the table if you specify the [Opportunity ID] and the [BU] values.
    My problem starts when I try to get information of those rows that have an specific value of [Opportunity ID]. For that situation I make a "foreach" structure where I check the BU codes that are involved with that Opportunity. So
    I use the Find() Method to get the information of the row specified by the Opportunity ID and BU.  The first time it goes to find the information it gets the results successfully but in the next cycle changing just the [BU] using the same [Opportunity
    ID] value, the find() method returns a "null" and I do not know why because I am sure that the row exists in the table.  I have verified the "Unique" property for the  [Opportunity ID] and [BU] columns (which are
    my primary keys)  and they are in false which is OK.
    I share the code that I am using...
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks.
    Alfmar.
    void ObtenTotalesxBUs(string Opportunity, string[] BUs, Object[] TotalBUs, Object[] ExpTotalBUs)
    ArrayList TotalesBUs = new ArrayList(); //Required information from the row.
    ArrayList ExpTotalesBUs = new ArrayList(); //Required information from the row.
    foreach(string businessUnit in BUs)
    Object[] LlaveBusqueda = { Opportunity, businessUnit }; //Provide values to the Primary Keys.
    DataRow RenglonInfo = null;
    RenglonInfo = TablaFunnel.Tabla.Rows.Find(LlaveBusqueda); //Find method receives the Primary Keys values. Here is where I have a "null" in return the second time changing just the [BU] field.
    TotalesBUs.Add(RenglonInfo["Total"]); //Get the required information from the row.
    ExpTotalesBUs.Add(RenglonInfo["Expected Total Value"]); //Get the required information from the row.
    TotalBUs = TotalesBUs.ToArray();
    ExpTotalBUs = ExpTotalesBUs.ToArray();}

    Hi Viorel..
    Thanks a lot for you help.
    I am absolutely sure that the second ítem of BU is valid and exist in the table because I tried to make a "Select" statement in the table providing the values of [Opportunity ID] and [BU] and I get the expected record. So, why is not
    working using Find() with the defined Primary Keys??? 
    I tried this in order to test that the record exists...
    if(RenglonInfo == null)
    string strSelect = "[Opportunity ID] = '0000218256' AND [BU] = 'SFW'";
    RenglonInfo2 = TablaFunnel.Tabla.Select(strSelect);

  • Check for empty table row before adding date

    On the form below, when I click the green + button (far right), a new table row is created with today's date. the user can then enter more text to the right of the date. Problem is when the form is saved and reopened, the text the user enters is deleted and new today's date added because it is in the intialize event. How do I script to check and make sure each dated row is empty before adding today's date?
    https://acrobat.com/#d=qTINfyoXA-U6cDxOGgcSEw
    Thanks,
    ~Don

    Hi Don,
    One option would be to use the caption area of the textfield for the date and leave the value portion free for the user to input their data:
    if (xfa.resolveNode("this.caption.value.#text").value === "") {
              this.caption.value.text = util.printd("[mm/dd/yy] ", new Date() );
    See here: https://acrobat.com/#d=VjJ-YsXLKmV6QU84JrAAIw.

  • Pl/sql table - row type records

    Hi,
    Is there any limit on the number of records that a pl/sql table (row type) can accomodate.Iam using oracle 10g

    user11200499 wrote:
    I have gone thru that url, nothing on the maximum number of records that can be present in pl/sql table is given there. Will be very helpful if you can let me know if there is any such limitation.There is no such thing as a PL/SQL "+table+". A table, in Oracle terminology, means colums and rows and indexes and the ability to scale data, effectively read and process and filter and aggregate data.
    A so-called PL/SQL "+table+" is nothing at all like this.
    The correct term for it, and used in all other programming languages, are arrays (procedural term) and collections (object orientated term).
    An array/collection is a local memory structure in the unit of code. In PL/SQL, that means PGA (process global area) memory. And as this uses server memory, you should not abuse it and only use as much that is truly needed.
    Make a PL/SQL array/collection too large, and PGA grows.. and can have a very negative impact on performance. It can even cause the server to crawl to halt, where you will struggle to enter a commandline command on the server as it is spending 99% of CPU time trying to deal with memory requests and page swapping.
    So what do we then use arrays/collections for in PL/SQL?
    For the very same reason we use in any other programming language - dealing with managing local programming data in a more effective memory structure. Such as bulk processing when requiring a buffer variable that can be passed to and from the PL and SQL engines.
    This does NOT mean using it as you would use it as if it is a SQL table. As it is not.
    So to answer your question of how large a PL/SQL array or collection can be? That depends entirely on the problem you are trying to solve. If it is for example bulk processing, then typically a collection of a 100 rows provides the best balance between the amount of (expensive) PGA memory being used versus the increase in performance by reducing context switching between the PL and SQL engines.
    If the rows are quite small, perhaps even a 1,000 row collection. More than that seldom decreases context switching enough to justify the increase in expensive PGA.
    So what should then be used to store larger data structures in PL/SQL? GTT or Global Temporary Tables. As this is a proper SQL table structure. Can be indexed. Natively supports SQL. Can scale with data volumes.
    And most importantly, it does not consume dedicated process memory and will not blow server memory.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Table Row Height-MS Word

    I am having trouble setting the table row height in the report generation toolkit. I can set the column width fine, but the row height seems to remain the same no matter what I set it to. I have attached the VI that generates and formats the table, and the printout it is resulting in. I have also attached the template file I am using.
    Any tips to get this to work right? I am trying to make the cells exactly the same height as the text inside. 
    Solved!

    Hi,
    So I tried .2  and it didn't work.  So I went to Word to manually change it, and it did not work either.  There is a selection box in word, for the table properties, that seems to default to the value "at least".  When I changed this manually to "exactly" in word, no problem with the .2 manually in Word.
    Hopefully this can be set within the template, for all new inserted tables.  I'm not sure the report generator VI's expose this property.  Well, this is a start for the issue.
    Edit ****
    You can go into the add table VI and expose the property.  See pic.   However, you have to decide if you want to "upgrade" this VI permanently to expose this property or make a copy with the property exposed.   I haven't messed with the new class reports too much, so not sure of the ins and outs with this.
    I think this is the issue with the row size becoming smaller.

    Note: i have set the condition for the footer as (tick the check box) "only after end of main window"
    Output:
                       the template is displayed the table is populated on the first page, no footer on 1st page,
                    on page 2 the table rows are printed (table rows were a lot) and finally footer got printed every thing as per normal
    what i want is:
                     instead of the table lines printed in the middle of page 2 (bcz my main window table is in the middle, top is templates)
                     i want the table lines (after filling the main window table lines in the 1st page) to continue to print from the
                     top of the page on page 2 and immediately after the table rows finish. footer must be printed....
    what should i be doing to get this output

    dear bob,
    yes i have done that already as u said, when i do it......
    i created a new page (next page) directed first page to next page

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.
