Re: Tables not accepting Ruling settings
Hi Karyn, The table has custom ruling and shading overrides, which always take precedent over the settings in the Table Designer. Select the table and choose Table Custom Ruling and Shading. Change all of the settings to From Table and click Apply. This should take care of the problem. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hi All, I have a bunch of tables in an administrators guide and am trying to convert them all to one consistent style that uses a thin line to separate all columns and rows. To achieve this look, I've used the Table Designer Ruling tab and have set every single field to thin. On most tables in my book, the thin lines appear. But some stubbornly refuse to add the lines, even if I repeatedly import the template (which has thin lines defined in the ruling settings), or set them manually and repeatedly click Apply and Update All. I've even selected to remove overrides, but still no luck. Why? And how can I fix this? This happens on some files (chapters) within my book, but not in others. And within a single file/chapter, it can happen on some tables, but not others. I'm on Windows XP with Frame 7.1.

Most likely those tables do have overrides, set using Table Custom Ruling and Shading. Try: . Selecting an entire problem table . Select Table Custom Ruling and Shading' . Uncheck 'Custom Cell Shading' . Select 'From Table' under 'Apply Ruling Style' . Check all the 'To selection' and 'Inside Borders' checkboxes . Click on 'Apply'. If that fails to fix the table, I've not idea. 'From Table' here means 'From the specifications in the Table Designer. -- Steve ___ 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.

Or, if you have a "bunch of tables", you may want to use the TableCleaner plug-in to do this "in batch" for all tables of a specific table format (typically for tables tagged "Table" which come from Word and Excel). Works like a charm.
