another table question or automatic text in a heading row
I was hoping to avoid this solution, but if ya gotta, ya gotta. And guess what - there is a gotcha. One of the columns is narrow, so the 2 word text wraps around. When these 2 words are the autonumber value, they do not wrap around. They are squeezed onto one line and the second work overlays the first word! Any suggestions? FYI, I tried putting \t between the words in the autonumber field - no go. - Original Message - From: "Art Campbell" To: "Leah Smaller" Cc: "Frame Users" Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 13:26 Subject: Re: another table question > Not automatically generated words controlled directly by the table format, > no. > > However, you can set up a series of paragraph tags, one for each > column, and add text to each one's Autonumbering field.

A \t adds a tab stop which isn't going to do anything unless you also set up a tab stop in the para tag. See if it'll take a \r to force a return after the first word. That should work, but it doesn't take on my system. However, em spaces do work. Try putting a \sm or two between your words to force a break.

Hi Leah, Not "text" per se, but since the paragraph formats for each cell are stored with the table format, you could use formats that have autonumbers to define the text you want. Here are the general steps you can use: 1) Insert a table with the desired format and the number of columns that you would normally use. 2) Click in each heading cell and create a paragraph format with the autonumber set to the text you want for each cell. 3) When you are done, open the Table Designer and click Update All. The next time you insert one of these tables, you will get your heading text.

another table question
Not automatically generated words controlled directly by the table format, no. However, you can set up a series of paragraph tags, one for each column, and add text to each one's Autonumbering field. If the tag is in the correct Heading Cell, the text will be too. In most cases, if you create a table, set it up with the correct tags in the correct columns, and then open and save the settings in Table Designer, the next time you create a table, the tags should show up as the default setup. I haven't tested this with multiple different tags, though, just with one tag in each column. But that's the way I'd try to automate it. Worst case is that you'd have to change a couple tags after you create the table. And, if you have FrameScript, you could also do the automatic words with a script.
