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.

Yup, that's a problem. Especially if you believe the doc, which says it is valid.

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.
