Table Needs 1 Pt. Side Strokes that End in Solid Circle Caps

I am working on a long document that has numerous (over 100) callout text boxes that must flow with the text. Because there will be a number of edits in the copy, I have put that text into a 1-column/1-row table. This allows the callout text to keep within the text flow of the document as edits are made to that text, as well as independently grow or shrink as edits are made to the text within the table.
The ideal table should look like this. [This is not a formatted table; just a box of text with side strokes and 4 separate little circles added at the corners.]:
I am working on a Table Style/Cell Style combination that can create this look, but the closest I've come is this:
My Table Style is basically just a 1-col, 1 cell item with no fill and no stroke.
My main Cell Style has the text indents and a 1-pt stroke on each side.
I made a new Dots Stroke Style that is used to create the spaced dots at the corners. It uses the dotted style rule with the pattern length (spacing) set at 19 picas (the column width is 18 picas) and the corners set to "adjust gaps."
I added a header and footer row to the table. To the header row I added a bottom stroke using the new Dots Stroke Style. To the footer row I added a top stroke that uses the new Dots Stroke Style.
I'm getting close, but unfortunately it looks like my header and footer have inherited the side rules from the main Cell Style, and my corner dots are not sitting properly over the rules.
Thoughts?

@Angie – I'd solve this with 4 anchored objects (the circles) that are positioned relative to the edge of the text column (In my German InDesign: "Spaltenrand"):
1. The basic concept:
Now with the Story Editor open:
You can see: The four circles are inserted as anchored objects in a separate paragraph.
2. Now you can adjust the relative position of every circle to the edge of the cell. This is working, because InDesign is treating every cell as a separate text column.
3. To get the positions right, you need:
a. The size of the circle
b. The width of the cell's stroke
c. The insets of the cell (in my example set to zero, but your case will be different)
This concept is very flexible. You can change the width and the height of the cell and the circles will move along:

  • Creating a stroke that used in table

    Hello,
    I'm using Indesign CS4.
    I have a table that needs horizontal rules that need to be indented by 2 mm on the left and right hand of the table. There also needs to be a gap of 2 mm in the middle of the table.
    I thought I could create a stroke to resolve this problem but I cannot seem to create a stroke that does this.
    I tried to use the help but this did not really help me any further.
    I want to create a stroke that I can apply to a table row that does the following:
    indents 2mm
    Draws a rule of 42 mm
    indents 2 mm
    Draws a rule of 42 mm
    indents 2mm
    This is what I would to use the stroke to create the horizontal rule highlighted below:
    Is there a better way to do this?
    Cheers Joe.

    In my experience, anchored objects in table cells go haywire when the document is exported as INX and re-opened.
    Bob's idea is probably the least bad, I admit, but just for the record, here's how you do it "when you use the application properly":

    In iWork numbers 2.1 i have created monthly tables that end in sums of my daily numbers & i want to combine the sums for all months into a new table to allow me to get yearly sums.  When i try to copy monthly sums i get 'formula contains invalid reference.' How do i perform this function?

    DC,
    If you want to use Copy/Paste, you should use the Edit > Paste Values version. Or, you could simply add references in the Yearly table to the monthy tables.

  • Source table has an xml column that I need to query before splitting into 2 tables.

    Hi
    I have a source table with an xml column that I need to query on the nodes and then depending on what data is in the node then to split it into 2 different tables. I don't think I can use conditional split so I am looking at just a straight Execute SQL Task.
    Has anyone got any ideas on any other way of doing this?
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    Dave

    Hi TheDish,
    Your goal arguably can me accomplished using pure T-SQL only encompassing XPath or XQuery.
    E.g. the XQuery would retrieve the nodes as explained in http://sqljudo.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/xpath-for-the-sql-server-dba/
    And then you may want to use the WHERE clause to extract - insert the nodes that go to one or another table.
    I don't see why SSIS is necessary, but you can run the same queries in two Data Sources, or Execute SQL Tasks (that capture a resultset).

  • Attach User define tables and view table need add to database into my add-o

    Hi there,
    I want to deploy an addon, there are User define tables and view table need add to database.
    I need some advice on some issues..
    1. Can I attach User define tables and view table need add to database into my addon.
    2. I wonder which chance is properly to add them, if add these user define objects in time of install and I can't get the enough information that connect to SQL server
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Weerachai,
    Here's an example of how to create a user-defined table in code. My suggestion would be to check if it exists when your add-on starts up and then if not, create the tables, fields and objects.
    'User Table
        Private Sub CreateTable(ByVal sTable As String, ByVal sDescription As String, ByVal oObjectType As SAPbobsCOM.BoUTBTableType)

            oUserTablesMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserTables)
            If Not oUserTablesMD.GetByKey(sTable) Then
                oUserTablesMD.TableName = sTable
                oUserTablesMD.TableDescription = sDescription
                oUserTablesMD.TableType = oObjectType
                iResult = oUserTablesMD.Add()
                If iResult <> 0 Then
                    oCompany.GetLastError(iResult, sMsg)
                    MessageBox.Show("Error Creating Table: " & sTable & " Error: " & sMsg)
                End If
            End If
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUserTablesMD)

            Next
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oTable)
            If Not bFound Then
                oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields)
                oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "@" & sTable
                oUserFieldsMD.Name = sName
                oUserFieldsMD.Description = sDescription
                oUserFieldsMD.Type = aFieldType
                If aFieldType = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha Or aFieldType = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Numeric Then
                    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = iSize
                Else
                    oUserFieldsMD.SubType = aSubType
                    oUserFieldsMD.Mandatory = bMandatory
                End If
                oUserFieldsMD.LinkedTable = sLink
                iResult = oUserFieldsMD.Add()

                End If
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oUserFieldsMD)
            End If
        End Sub
    If you want to create a View I think you would have to use the RecordSet object. This will ensure that you don't have to log in to the database again

  • How to find a specific word (from a list) in a sentence located in a different table, and build a column that contains the name

    Hi all, 
    I have 2 tables:
    1) Lookup table- "Names"- which contains ID# and product description (~100 names that can change).
    2) Data table- "Data"- which contains a column with sentences and within lies also the description. In addition, there is a quantity column.
    Example:
    Names table-
    ID
    Name
    1 Glass
    2 Paper
    3 Alum'
    4 Metal for construction
    100 Hydro therapy products
    And Data table-
    Description
    Qty
    Someone went to use the machine. 1.80 cm, Alum', for the rest of the day

    *there is no order where the lookup value can be found in the sentence*
    My purpose is to import the Data table while performing a calculation, that <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1941bde7-1595-40eb-9d64-c2e3b9fabdef" id="b60549fc-5b92-46ea-abc6-72cc8c4c093b">checks</gs>
    for each row what is the suitable lookup value and then add it to a new column "Name". 
    Meaning, this table should be the new data after import:
    <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f5d9da98-3ff6-4022-920d-8965a15730ee" id="580f945f-7822-4035-9b5b-542c74eff605">Description</gs>

    Hi Amit,
    I updated the file. The solution uses the following query formula:
    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DataTbl"]}[Content],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each IndexTbl),
    #"Expand Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"Scope"}, {"Scope"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expand Custom", each Text.Contains([Description], [Scope])),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"Topic", "Component Code", "Project", "Date", "TotalQty", "TotalQtyActual", "ID", "SOW #", " SOW#(lf)Rev", "Scope Driver", "Scope Source", "Scope Source #", "Cost Code", "Type", "Bdg", "System Code", "IMF Number", "IMF Description", "WG", "C or NC", "C/e", "LLE", "Dwg Ref", "Comments ", "Description", "Size", "Qty", "Unit", "Materials Cost/Unit ", "Sub-Total per Unit €", "Unit Rate ", "Total", "DIV Code", "SYS Code", "HelperForDynfilter"}, {{"Scope", each Text.Combine([Scope], " | "), type text}})
    in
    #"Grouped Rows"
    It is based on two queries. The first is the import from table of "IndexTbl", the second is the import of "DataTbl' which is then extended according to the expression above.
    Hope this helps.

  • I need a flash player that does split screen with two "like" videos

    I am a newbie on Flash and really need some guidance or a source code to work off of.  I need a flash player that I can have two videos, overlayed with a mask at 50% on each so I see half of one video on the right and half of the other video on the left, thus split screen.
    We are trying to show off the same video with a before and after effect or show processed video on one side and non-processed video on the other.
    If anyone has a sample or knows how to do this, I would be interested in talking with them.
    Thanks in advance.

    Basically the two videos are identical except what was processed on the post
    file.  So ideally we would want:
    Video 1 (left side 50%)
    Video 2 (right side 50%)
    One controller with play, pause and full screen.

  • How to access remote tables on Oracle from Access fron end?

    Note: Access application and access tables are in separate .mdb files.
    I've successfully migrated my Access 2000 tables to Oracle. And there were no errors during the migration. The two original Access tables were renames to tblBOMdetail_L and tblPartInfo_L and two new linked tables were created with the _R name. Mapping queries were created for tblBOMdetail and tblPartInfo.
    However, when I launch my Access application, I get the following error: "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'tblPartInfo'. Make sure that it exists and that its name is spelled correctly."
    Is there something more that I have to do to enable this connection. I already have the necessary ODBC connection set up.
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    The first thing you need to verify is that you can view the data in the tables with _R appended to their name. This will verify whether the ODBC link is set up correctly and pointing at the correct Oracle table in the Oracle database.
    Another point. Are you still using 2 .mdb files? If so since your data is now in Oracle it may be prudent to use only one .mdb.

    how do I add a table to a preformed template that I got ? I
    have tried inserting a table but it always ends up inside another
    table already created. But I want a brand new fresh table but
    cannot seem to be able to get the cursor in the empty area.

    This page is not a DW Template. It's just an ordinary HTML
    page. And if
    you *paid* for it, I'd ask for my money back -
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.martynbird.co.uk%2Fradiocontr olcarsites%2F
    Anyhow, to place a table in the location you desire, click
    within the words
    "Sites to buy your Radio control vehicles and spares" in
    Design view, then
    look at the Tag Selector bar at the bottom of the document
    pane, and click
    on the first <p> tag from the right. That will select
    the entire <p> tag
    and its contents. Since you cannot insert a table within a
    <p> tag, you
    would want the insertion point to be just to the right of
    that paragraph, so
    press the right arrow once. In Design view, you will see the
    insertion
    point to the right of the 'spares'. Now you can insert a
    table.
    WARNING: Using DW without a basic understanding of HTML and
    CSS will cause
    you to encounter mystery after mystery just like this, and
    will ultimately
    make your hair fall out and your teeth rot. Just don't take

    Hi Karl,
    the user views are user_sdo_styles, user_sdo_themes, user_sdo_maps, user_sdo_cached_maps.
