Thanks. I'll be trying everyone's suggestions over the next day or so and hopefully, I'll get this done.
Then it'll be on to the next question ;-))) Alison Alison Craig, Technical Writer Ultrasonix Medical Corporation Tel: (604) 279-8550, ext 127 Fax: (604) 279-8559 E-mail: alison.craig at ultrasonix.com -----Original Message----- From: Combs, Richard [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 12:43 PM To: Alison Craig; Writer Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Converting from Word to FM9: Tables in Tables??

Alison Craig responded: > Would this method support the border above and below the Note? Sure, you're still using a table for the notes, so you still have the table borders available. But to clarify what Nadine said, you can't put the table directly into the anchored frame -- there's another step required. In the table cell where you want the note, first insert an anchored frame. Use the anchoring pgf and location you prefer, and size the anchored frame so it will accommodate the note table (you can tweak this later). Next, create a text frame inside the anchored frame and almost filling it. Then, put your cursor into the text frame and insert the note table. Adjust the sizes of the table, the text frame, and the anchored frame containing it as needed -- you can use the "shrink-wrap" command (Esc m p) to size the anchored frame snugly around the text frame (that also sets its Anchoring Position to At Insertion Point, but you can change it again if necessary).
