looking for a way to automate alignment in tables
At my job we use unstructured Frame 7.2 on Windows XP. We often typeset tables that contain columns of numbers. In these columns, we vertically align cell contents on the decimal. We do it by manually, adding numerical spaces and hard spaces at the beginning of cell contents where needed. We'd like to find a way to automate this. For example, we'd like to be able to drag-select a column and then press a button that says Align on decimal or some such. Although we have no experience with Frame plugins, I'm wondering if an existing or custom plugin could be a solution. I'm writing you wise people to get some advice. Do you think a plugin could help? If so, do you have recommendations for companies that write plugins? Or is there any other solution? Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give. --Cybele ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

word spacing formatting changing--only when files are shared. i'm stumped.
My coworker and I use unstructured Frame 7.2. We've been struggling with this problem: When I open a file last saved by my coworker, the word spacing in one or more paragraphs has changed, resulting in layout changes (orphans and widows). The same thing happens to my coworker-when she opens a file I last saved, the word spaces has changed. These changes in word spacing do not happen if I open a file I last saved. In other words, when User X opens a file last saved by same User X, no problem. When a file last saved by User X is opened by User Y, word spacing changes occur almost always. We do not see any other formatting being changed-just word spacing in one or more paragraphs. We do often adjust word spacing by hand using the Paragraph Designer Advanced Word Spacing Minimum/Maximum/Optimum fields. But I don't understand why any word space settings should change, whether they are custom or default. Any insight would be much appreciated-we're stumped, frustrated, and wasting a lot of time checking changing document layouts.
