I've used Rick's Table Cleaner and it's worth much more than $60. With a few clicks, you can clean every table in a Frame file that you've imported from Word. The tool paid for itself in the first hour I used it.
I was importing 100+ long Word files into Frame for a conversion project for a client. I imported, ran Table Cleaner on each file and all the tables were fixed. It took about 3 minutes. To fix them manually (at that time in that version of Frame) involved destroying each table and rebuilding it manually. Since there were tables about every 3 pages... Yes, the tool is wonderful and worth every penny. If you are selling your utilities for less, perhaps they are not as powerful or as immediately timesaving. Or perhaps you could charge more and didn't think of it. But Table Cleaner is worth every cent. sharon Sharon Burton Content Consultant www.anthrobytes.com 951-369-8590 IM: sharonvburton at yahoo.com Twitter: sharonburton Blog:anthrobytes.wordpress.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Avraham Makeler Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 10:29 PM To: Baruch Brodersen Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated for further pages of the table >> Rick Quattro's Table Cleaner plugin Thought I would sleep on this before responding... well here goes... $60 for just o-n-e utility...? $60 is the price of many complete applications -- ok not an MS app or an Adobe app, but an app. I have written a number of complete Word VBA programs and until now it never occured to me to ask more than about $20. Oh well ...
