Re: [Framers] table footing - possible only on last page ?

[Carol J. Elkins]

I don't think I've ever used footers to display column headers. 
However, I regularly use them to display other information that needs 
to appear on each page. For instance, a key to references used in the 
table (e.g., asterisk=no longer in production; or a key to define 
what the colors in each cell mean).

What other purpose do table footers serve?

In very large tables, the header / footer row is sometimes repeated in
the middle as well, sometimes more than once. I don't know if any
single-sourcing tools can do that.

Monique,
You may just add a final row with the contents of your 'Table footing' and 
format it 
to look the same as Heading/Footing (e.g. frame, shading).

Your reviewer seems to have misunderstood the purpose of a footing (see page 
footing)...

Did you explain to the reviewer that the purpose of a footing row is

to let the reader see the column labels when they're viewing the
bottom half of the page?

Not sure that I agree that that's the primary purpose... But regardless, 
no—I didn't bother. Given this reviewer, her authority, and the fact that 
I'm winding down the final deliverables for my contract, it simply wasn't 
worth arguing about. If this is what they want, this is what I'll provide.

Re: [Framers] table footing - possible only on last page

[Oran Petersen]

By definition, table footings are at the bottom of each page of a multiple page 
table. There is really no other reason for a footing to exist. What you want is 
another body row, with custom formatting if you wish, to have it look different 
to represent the footing information.

Hello, Framers, 

(FrameMaker 2015) 

Is it possible to have a table footing appear only on the last page of a table 
that spans two pages? (I don?t think so, and nor do I think it particularly 
desirable. But a reviewer wants it so.) 

Thanks, 
-Monique

[Framers] table footing - possible only on last page ?

[D L Reynolds]

Is there a reason you can’t put the footer content in the last data row of the 
table? Since you don’t want the footer content to repeat, it isn't necessary to 
put the information in a designated footer row.

I meant a “footing row”, in the terminology of the Add Rows or Columns dialog 
box where you can add row(s) “To Footing”. Good to know that there’s an 
official Table Footnote thing—I didn’t realize that. And yes, I agree: if a row 
isn’t on every page, it’s not really a footer.
So I’m going with your suggestion: just put the footing info as the last 
(regular) row and apply the appropriate ruling/shading for the appearance that 
I want.
Thanks,
-Monique

Re: [Framers] table footing - possible only on last page ?

[Lin Sims]

Are you talking about a footer row, or a table footnote? Footer rows appear
on every page the table is on, footnotes appear after the entire table (and
I wish that were something you could toggle between). If the row doesn't
appear on every page, then it's not really a footer, is it?

If you want something that looks like a footer row but only appears at the
end of the table, I'd create it as a regular row and apply custom ruling
and shading to make it look like other footers.
