RE: Table Continuation Variable issue
Tammy, If you want to avoid hard coding you could add a second version of the Table Title format that deals with this issue (incorporating your .5 indentation and having its own unique paratag name). Of course you'd have to add that format to any generated list that compiles a list of all the tables. Craig ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Table Continuation Variable issue
The issue is that FrameMaker figures out how to lay out table continuations based on the first page of the table. If the table title is only one line without the continuation variable, then each continuation page will have only one line's worth of table title. If that single line can contain the title plus the continuation variable, everything is OK. But if the continuation variable needs to wrap to a second line, it will become invisible because Frame "knows" from the first page of the table that the title is only one line. Nothing mysterious at work here. BTW, if you were to use the old-fashioned "Sheet x of y" indication of table continuation, you wouldn't have this problem because the table title on each page would be essentially the same length (at least for the first 9 pages while x is a single digit) and would wrap (or not) the same way as the first page. Just be glad that FrameMaker is able to repeat table tiles on continuation pages in the first place. You could be working with Word where the title appears once and only once because it's not really part of the table and has no way of knowing that the table spans pages. -Fred Ridder > From: tamm...@spectrumwritingllc.com > To: a...@alphabyte.co.nz; framers@lists.frameusers.com > Subject: RE: Table Continuation Variable issue > Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 14:02:45 -0600 > > Hi Alan, > > So, I entered by text for the TableTitle tag, pressed Shift/Enter in the > first instance of the title, and then inserted the Table Continuation tag. > It wraps the title, yes, but in the first instance, it wraps it and > therefore, although the Continuation variable doesn't display, there is an > extra line now between the table title and the table.

RE: Table Continuation Variable issue
OK, my 2008 trick didn't do it this time for whatever reason with this particular title. I had to go up to almost 0.5 to get it to wrap and then of course, we were back to all the non-problematic titles wrapping unnaturally. I am going with the "hard-coded" approach right now of a discretionary soft return before the last word in the title so that when it wraps, there is not just the word "continued" displayed alone on the second line - that looked funky. At least there is a bit of text preceding "Continued" with this approach. Thanks all . . .

As you scroll through the table, then the continued variable is displayed by itself in the second line. So, I just moved the location of the soft return to before the last word in the title, and OK, it looks a bit funky in the first occurrence, but it's doable. I appreciate the prompt replies from you and David, but what on earth is preventing this from wrapping as expected anyway? Thanks!

Re: Table Continuation Variable issue
Long time since I had that one. IIRC I inserted a discretionary/soft return into the first instance of the title. When it gets to the repeated title it should break at that point. Since writing, David provided the same idea with \n. Alan On 2/04/15 8:36 am, Tammy Van Boening wrote: FM 10, all patched, Win7, x64. When I addthe "Continued" variableto a table title, I expect thatit should wrap the title text ontothe next page because thevariable makesthe titletoo longfor one line. It won’t do that. It will just make one line of text and then cut anything off that would have gone to the nextline, so the continuation variable isn't displayed. I have tried mucking around with the Right indent setting in the Paragraph Designer for the TableTitle tag, but although this solves the problem for the one nuisance table title, it artificially forces all the other table titles to wrap and become a two-line title, when one line will hold the entire tag, including the Continued variable, so these TableTitle tags look funky. I am stymied. Thanks!

Re: Table Continuation Variable issue
Tammy,Don't know if this will work, or not, but have you tried placing a return (\n) between the title and the "Continued" variable?You might need two backslashes (\\n).Example: Table 1 This and That\\n(variable)Or create a second variable, Table Continued Long, and include the \\n there.Worth a try. YMMV. On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 2:37 PM, Tammy Van Boening wrote: Table Continuation Variable issueFM 10, all patched, Win7, x64.
