A client's template currently has Cautions formatted as a three-cell table: The
Caution icon (in a reference) frame is in the first cell, the word "Caution" (in
the Autonumbering field of the CautionHead) is in the second, and the writer
types text in the third.
They want to change to a two-cell table with the icon in the first cell and the
word "Caution" as a run-in head in the second cell along with the text.
Here's the strange behavior: When you change the CautionHead paragraph to a
run-in head and straddle the two cells, the run-in head disappears. I'm guessing
this is because technically that paragraph is empty, having no manually entered
text, just the word "Caution" from the autonumbering field.
I realize there are other ways to achieve the same look but if the run-in head
wasn't destroyed by straddling the cells, it would be simpler to convert
existing Cautions to the new format. Any ideas on how I can get this to work?
My first thought is convert table to text and back again. This simple
trick can save a lot of bother. From what you say, you have
Cell 1: Icon Cell 2: paratag Cell 3: text
Conversion gives you
Icon Tab paratag Tab text
(You can specify that cell divisions are tabs, semi-colons, whatever.)
Then you just remove the second Tab so you have
Icon Tab paratag text
Convert that back to a table, and you should have
Cell 1: Icon Cell 2 paratag text
Marking a table gives you the choice of Table > Convert to Paragraphs...
Marking text block gives you Table > Convert to Table...
Does that help (or make any sense)?
