Hi Lin, this is a pretty simple issue, although perhaps a little complex to explain via text on an email list. In your structure, you want to define two Table Cell elements -- one element for the table cell that gets the icon, and the other for the table cell that gets the body text. When you create your general rule for the Table Row, you want to set up your element something like the following (assuming that you are setting up a note): Element (Table Row): TableRow_Note General rule: TableCell_NoteIcon, TableCell_NoteBody Initial structure pattern for table row: TableCell_NoteIcon, TableCell_NoteBody Then, each of the two Table Cell elements can be set up like the following: Element (Table Cell): TableCell_NoteIcon General rule: Note_Icon Automatic insertions Automatically insert child: Note_Icon Element (Table Cell): TableCell_NoteBody General rule: Note_Heading, Note_Body+ Automatic insertions Automatically insert child: Note_Heading Those final elements in the general rule -- Note_Icon, Note_Heading, and Note_Body -- would be paragraph-type elements that contain the text within your note. One thing you don't want to do is have paragraphs be the child of the Table Cell itself. If you use paragraph-type elements as children of the Table Cell elements, you will get much better control over what gets inserted. Contact me off list if you're not following me. I've got an example of this in my own EDD and it works exactly like you want. Regards, Gary This e-mail, and any attachments are strictly confidential and intended for the addressee(s) only.
