Subject: creating a table with row headings instead of column headings
Hi Ben, To make a table with (repeating) row headers you can use a rotated frame, create table and rotate the text. In fact you turn the tabel (90 degrees) and use rotated the text (-90 degrees) so the display will be 'normal'. You could make a special master page with a rotated text frame to hold the table and maintain table continuation.

RE: creating a table with row headings instead of column headings
Thanks, Wim, Fred and Ann.
This was mainly about being able to create a template table type with column 1
automatically shaded for row headings (without having to use custom shading
overrides).
Believe that I now have a some alternatives for doing this.
Cheers,
Ben

The only functional difference between a heading row and a body row
is that heading rows are repeated on any subsequent pages that the
table extends onto. There is no corresponding need for row headings
to repeat, so there is no mechanism for marking a heading column
as being any differerent than a body column. Yes, the formatting
wants to be different, but that's just a matter of applying an
appropriate paragraph tag.

In the Body Shading box, choose Shade By Columns, and set the first 1 column to the shading you want and the Next 99 columns to no shading. Then either define it as a new named format or click Update All to save it as part of the current format's definition. -Fred Ridder ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
