RE: colors in tables

2009-07-09 Thread Susan Curtzwiler
Hi Rick 
 Reminder:  FM 7.0 on Vista Enterprise.   Acrobat Distiller 5.0.
 
Thank you for these instructions, changing the colors of the rows worked great! 
However, I need to keep the left column solid, a darker shade of the rows. 
 
Thanks,
Sue

Hi Sue,

The table was probably imported into FrameMaker from Word and so the
alternating shading are considered overrides to the default table shading.
Here is how to fix it:

1) Select the entire table.
2) Choose Table > Custom Ruling and Shading
3) Uncheck the Custom Cell Ruling checkbox and check the Custom Cell Shading
checkbox.
4) Choose From Table under both Fill and Color popup menus.
5) Click the Apply button.

This will remove the overrides from the table. Now you can set the
alternating shading in the Table Designer and it should work as you add and
delete rows. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank
you very much.

Hi All,
   Using FMKR 7.0,  Acrobat Distiller 5.0,  on Vista Enterprise on HP
(Compaq) laptop.
  I do not have the full Acrobat 5.0 program, on this system.  But, I could
take the FMKR file to my own pc and use Acrobat 5.0 and then bring it back
to this laptop.

Question:

 I have a large (17pgs) table for my glossary.

The rows are alternating colors - light and medium shade of the same color.
However, the header top row and the left column - are a solid color.

Now, we are adding and deleting some of these glossary entries.

Is there a way to have the alternate row colors update automatically?
I have already gone into the Table Designer and I am working with the shade
settings, but not much luck yet.

I inherited this table - I think the alternate coloring was done with copy /
paste.

Thanks,
Sue

colors in tables

2009-07-06 Thread Yves Barbion
Hi Susan

Looks like someone has been using "custom ruling and shading", which is not
recommended in this case (except for the left column). So, remove the custom
ruling and shading and use the Table Designer to set the Shading, for
example:

   - Heading and Footing Shading: Fill 100 %
   - Body Shading: Shade By Body Rows, First 1 Fill 30%; Next 1 Fill 30 %
   - Apply custom shading to the left column

To remove custom ruling/shading: select all cells in the table and choose
Table > Custom Ruling and Shading > Custom Cell Shading > Fill: From Table,
Color: From table.

Tip: Buy Rick Quatro's Table Cleaner plugin for this type of work:
