Replace content within an already formatted table

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me with a table problem I am having.
I currently have a formatted table in InDesign CS4 with old information inside it, and I am looking to replace the current data with updated data from a Word table without having to copy and paste the new data into each cell.
I previously used the script PopTabFmClip when I used CS2, but apparently this is now not needed in CS4. So long as I have the right amount of rows and columns.
Like I said, I am taking the new information from a Word table, and have had some success in doing so for smaller tables, but when I try and re-populate a larger table it seems to overflow the table and create now rows etc. Almost like a paragraph break signals it to move to the next row.
Also, the information that does get added moves from row to row as apposed to column (I.e. the information that supposed to be inserted into the column to the right is inserted in the row below)
Hopefully someone has experienced this problem before and can provide some help.
Also, if this question has come up before, could you please direct me to the topic.
Thanks in advance.

Let me start by saying I hate working with tables, so I'm not good at it.
The reason the script is no longer necessary is the functionality has been taken over by the use of cell and table styles, so if you define cell styles and apply them religeously, in theory they will control the formatting.

  • ID CS3: how to input new data into already formatted table

    Hi, I have a table that's already formatted, and every month it needs to be renewed with new data that's delivered in an Excel document
    How can I just repopulate the table with the new data without modifying the table style in any way?
    I read that this is possible in ID CS3 but I don't know how to implement this.
    Many thanks!

    The InDesign Help app details how to import Microsoft Excel files. Search for Microsoft Excel import options. Everything you need should be there.
    If you use the same table each week, you can make a link to the excel file and simply update it each time it changes, without having to import it each time. In Preferences > Type, under the Links option check the box and InDesign will treat placed text/excel files like images, that can be updated when they change.

    Frank,
    I tried to find some examples/samples on how to create CollectionModel for a table component but not successful.
    Can you clarify the following ?
    1. "CollectionModel" is referenced only by af:table attributes "value", "selectedRowKeys" and "selectionListener".
    The rest of af:table attributes such as "rows", "fetchSize" used to reference the iterator binding in the binding container via the EL expression "#{bindings.VOIteratorBinding.xxx} .
    What should I replace that EL expression with?
    2. I heck out the bean method to create the CollectionModel as following, is it close to what you mean?
    public void initBusinessDataDashboardView() {
    OperationBinding operation = BeanUtils.getOperationBinding("getPanelBusinessData");
    Map params = operation.getParamsMap();
    Key panelKey = getPanelInfoView().getKey();
    params.put("panelKey", panelKey);
    params.put("maximizedView", false);
    panelView = (ViewObject)operation.execute();
    // Heck code to create CollectionModel
    RowSet rowSet = panelView.getRowSet();
    ArrayList rowList = new ArrayList();
    while (rowSet.hasNext()) {
    rowList.add(rowSet.next());
    model = new ChildPropertyTreeModel(rowList, null);
    // To be used to set up af:table value, selectRowKeys, selectionListener via EL expr #{backingBeanScope.MyBean.model.xxx}
    public CollectionModel getModel() {
    return model;
    Am I on the right track?

  • Combine Columns From Separate Arrays Into One Formatted Table

    What I'm trying to do is make two WMI queries with 2 different classes for a list of machines and then patch the columns together into one single array that is formatted as a table with columns and rows. I seem to keep banging my head against the wall and
    I can't help but feel that the answer is simple. I can certainly create an array that contains all 3 columns (such as in the commented out part) but no matter which angle I go at it, it always seems to end up as all the data in one single row in each column
    rather than a nicely formatted table. I've even tried constructing separate custom objects and adding the different objects to the array but that's obviously not working. Below is the code of the last thing I tried. I need someone to bash it to death and tell
    me the (most likely obvious) thing that I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

  • Smart Objects: How can I prevent resizing when replacing contents?

    There seem to be 2 kinds of smart objects:
    One kind where you can replace the contents, no matter what size it has and it will fit into the bounding box of the smart object which is already there.
    The other kind where this doesn't happen.
    Is there any way to control that behaviour? I found that in older PS-files, replacing contents always made the new content fit into the bounding box, but since CS3, the transformation stays the same which means I have to rescale the smart-object if the content-size has changed.
    Example:
    Imagine a game cover with screenshots on the back side. Now each screenshot is a smartobject.
    All Screenshots are at 640x480 (assumend the standard screen dpi of 72)
    Now I found them in a better resolution (1024x768, also 72dpi) and replace the old ones with "replace content".
    The old photoshop behaviour: Photoshop would fit the larger image to occupy exactly the same area than it's predecessor.
    The new behaviour: The whole Smartobject is enlarged by 160% (not the transformation parameters, the visual appearance.), I have to scale it down to make it fit to the old size.
    And I really wonder about having older and newer Photoshop-Files where these Smartobjects behave differently.
    Now did I miss something in the help section or is there a way to control this behaviour?

    Yes, fortunately, I am a Windows user, but I don't want to start a religious war here And it is also possible to run multiple versions of Adobe products simultaneously under Windows - why shouldn't that be possible? Currently I have CS3 and CS4 and somtimes use CS3 when CS4 is just too buggy to get the job done. Before that I had CS and CS2 on the same machine.
    But I wouldn't keep all versions back to PS 6.0 or CS, that would be a bit too chaotic and I'd had to spend days of installing if I get a new computer. I expect those programs to be a little bit backwards-compatible, so I don't have to use many different versions. And for Photoshop, this is mostly the case. It's just very tiny details like Smart Object resizing that seems to work differently.
    Otherwise I'm really happy that in CS4 I can finally link Masks to smart objects and apply warp and perspective on them, that's a big plus!

  • Replace content smart objects doesnt work properly.

    Hello fellow Photoshoppers,
    Currently i am working on reusable album templates with smart objects. At first i was very enthusiastic but this was soon to end. as the replacing doesnt work properly.
    I made the smart object by using:
    1. > file
    2. > place
    then i try to replace the content by using.
    1. > layer
    2. > smart objects
    3. > replace contents
    the old image should get replaced by the chosen file and matching size, smart layers etc. However when i perform the same actions my image gets replaced but it is not the same size as the smart object it replaced. This makes the entire template useless as it would take far too much time resizing every single image. inspired by another video I also tried double clicking the layer and tried replacing the image in the editing sceen by dragging another file on top of the smart object. Again, it does not spread out to the full smart object size and i'm stuck with a small image in need of extra work.
    Needless to say, very frustrating.
    Any thoughts?

    Are you sure you understood how it is intended work?
    That is an interesting question, i have no experience with photoshop as i bought CS5,5 just a week ago and have no experience with any of the previous versions either. All info regarding how to make such a template i found from various tutorials, i posted one below. When they do it the image get scaled perfectly. Now since they use some smart filters in the tutorial i applied them aswell to see if this would fix the problem but it did not.
    http://www.picturesocial.com/video/wedding-photo-album-templates
    Are the images you want to switch in at least always of the same width to height-relation?
    I checked both files for consistency and discovered they were shot on different camera's. One file ( the origional smart object ) was cropped form a 21,0MP file and the other was croped from a 10,1 MP file. Both images were cropped to a 2x1 ratio. Having discovered the difference in pixel amount i cropped a different 21,0 MP file to 2x1 ratio and checked both files for their exact dimensions (both images are equal in size with 5616 x 2808 pixels) and replaced the content with the newly cropped file which gave a much better result. However, the image was slightly smaller in photoshop leaving a small gap where the origionally placed smart object lined up perfectly. I turned the situation around and placed the 10,1MP cropped image as the smart object and replaced the content by a 21,0 MP cropped image. As to be expected i ended up with a new image much larger then the smart object. So the smart object does not constrain the files to the dimensions set. As it turns out it only scales the replaced content relative to the size of the origional content of the smart object.
    I just need a reusable template with objects that:
    - cannot be moved once locked ( if possible) but can have its content replaced
    - scales the replaced content to the predefined dimensions
    - needs no prework like cropping to the same aspect ratio as the smart object content. ( i want to be able to place a landscape sized raw (3x2) on any landscape format  (2x1 / 16x9 / 4x3 or whatever) i find it acceptable to having to crop a portret to landscape orientation first before being able to replace a landscape.
    now ive been searching for more info and some people say indesign is much faster in making album pages so I am installing the program as we speak hoping this will be the solution.

  • Outlook 2010 Terminal Services; Error when sending mail "Content within this application coming... "About:Internet"

    Hi All,
    We have Outlook 2010 running on Terminal Services for one of our clients. Frequently users experience an error when trying to send mail.  A message pops up stating the follow (sorry I cannot post pictures or links yet which would make this much easier)
               "Content within this application coming from the website listed below is being blocked by Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration."    About:Internet
    If I try to add this to the Trusted Sites zone it tells me that I have already done so.  All users are experiencing this issue. Not sure what can be done from our end to alleviate this problem.  Any advice?

    Either remove this "About:Internet" or disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration on the terminal server:

    Close all instances of Internet Explorer.
    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click

  • Get-ADUser Format-Table not working as expected

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm using the following code:
    Import-module ActiveDirectory
    $USERS = Import-Csv C:\temp\R12_Active_Users.csv
    $USERS|foreach {Get-ADUser -Identity $_.samaccountname -properties * | FT -autosize samaccountname, Name, UserPrincipalName, mail, objectguid, distinguishedname, description, PhysicalDeliveryOfficeName, EmployeeID, EmployeeNumber}
    I'm not out'ing this to a text file or exporting to a CSV yet, as the format is not what I am expecting.
    Instead of having a table with the headings for each value, followed by the values for all the samaccountnames listed in the CSV that is being imported, I am getting a new heading for all values for each samaccountname.
    Is someone able to advise me on where I'm going wrong? I am getting the information that I require, I'm just not getting the table set correctly.
    Below is an example of the output:
    samaccountname                                      UserPrincipalName                   
    mail
    user1                                                        
    [email protected]              
    [email protected]

    mail
    user3                                                        
    [email protected]              
    [email protected]
    Output should look like this:
    samaccountname                                      UserPrincipalName                   
    mail
    user1                                                        
    [email protected]

    Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

    It is because you are piping over to Format-Table within your ForEach-Object loop, try changing it to
    Import-module ActiveDirectory
    $USERS = Import-Csv C:\temp\R12_Active_Users.csv
    $USERS |foreach {
    Get-ADUser -Identity $_.samaccountname -properties *} |
    FT -autosize samaccountname, Name, UserPrincipalName, distinguishedname, description, PhysicalDeliveryOfficeName, EmployeeID, EmployeeNumber

    Hi,
    There are two workarounds that you could try.  1.  if your system could print to pdf, you could print each response as pdf instead of export as pdf.
    2. you could duplicate the form with responses, open the dulplicate form, remove some old responses (the one that you already exported) so you don't see the 13000 visible cells dialog, then you could export each response to pdf. 
    Hope these workarounds could help you while we are getting the fix out.
