Center text in a table cell

Hi all

I use FrameMaker 10 and am new to him.

Figured out how to center the text in a cell using the paragraph Designer, but it will not be saved.

There is an existing table that someone else put in place.

any help appreciated.

Thank you

-Myko,

  1. You don't have to use the Structure view to change attributes in FrameMaker. The command element > change attributes evokes the pod of attributes, initialized to display the attributes of the current element.
  2. You can set attributes for multiple elements with a single command. If you select multiple items, the attributes pod displays the attributes common to all of them. For example, if you select adjacent cells, you can define all attributes align both. Be aware, however, that if you select all the cells in a row, FrameMaker "warms up" the selection to the item line instead of individual cells. Therefore, if you want to set an attribute on all cells in the row, you will need to do this in two parts.
  3. You can copy and paste attribute values. For example, you can:
    1. Set the attribute align on a single cell.
    2. Make sure that no other attributes are set to this cell.
    3. Use ADSI > copy special > attribute values to copy as an attribute to the Clipboard.
    4. Select the other cells (but not whole rows) and paste.
  4. You can use find/replace to stick the attribute values. For example, once you have the desired value of the align attribute in the Clipboard, the pod of find/replace, you can:
    1. Select the item in the context menu search above and specify the name of the attribute you want to change.
    2. Click search to find the next occurrence of the attribute.
    3. In the context menu of change, select by collage.
    4. Click on edit or replace and search.

    You can also use replace to change all the attributes of the type specified in a book, Document or selection.

  5. If there is an align attribute in FrameMaker, most likely there is an align attribute in XML. If you are the person who maintains the XML document, you can set the XML attribute instead of in FrameMaker. If you set attributes in FrameMaker and save the document in XML format, depending on how FrameMaker has been configured for your environment, it is likely that the attribute values are saved ub XML.
  6. If the align attribute is optional, there may be a default value (if if, when no value explicitly, the outline view will show the default value in italic) and the bottom of the basket of attributes will display by default.
  7. Some structured environments are set up so that the attributes such as align can be set for the entire table, the table (header, body, footer) part, the line or cell. Indeed, the value for one of these elements becomes the default value for his descendants.
  8. If the attribute has no default value, the FrameMaker table format determines the paragraph format to use and alignment in the paragraph format is used. If you are the person in your organization who maintains the model, you can set the table format to make the default choice most likely for your special documents.

  • Editing text in a table cell

    I have a set of option buttons three text list A B C text text in the row of the table, I have the default value defined in the text.  I also add a button to the table lines.  I can get the text to change in the first row to say text A text C etc but when I add a line of text does not change.  Is there a way to add lines and the text to line up with what has been chosen among the radio buttons? Hope this has meaning and any help on this is much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    The problem is that when the new line is added, Acrobat adds a new instance of the default.

    If you want the cell to ALWAYS display the same data in all lines, the simpler approach it would be to establish the binding of this cell to Global (see object > range of binding).

    It should work,

  • Spacing of text inside a table cell?

    Hello, I have a question!

    I am a newbie in Web design.

    I have a site which I use a tabular presentation to design anything.

    One problem, I just fell on is when I start to add text, it seems to be very close to the edges of my cells... I know that this cell spacing is fixed, BUT when I try to add the code to the specific cell, it does not work.  When I add the code for the entire table, the cell in question works properly, BUT then ALL my cells with spacing, which is just not good at all.

    I tried to add a table inside the cell, but cannot understand the.  Any help is appreciated.  Here is my site, so you can see a Visual.

  • access to table cells

    Hello

    Could someone please help me understand how to access the cells in a table (to do)?  I have a report with a table full of a channel.  In a column, it shows a list of names (which come from a channel).  I have another string with a list of colors and I want to associate each name in the table with a color of the second round. I tried unsuccessfully to access even a cell using D2TabRow and D2TabCol and the content...

    Any help is appreciated

    Thank you

    Hi Muskeg,

    Edna has sent two times it shows the only way to change the font of the text in individual table cells properties.  You create, save and call a UserCommand, so is not simple.  The main problem you use is that the table in the REPORT object does not generally contain cells.  If you happen to have chosen a column type in the 'list of text', then you can access the contents of individual table cells, but otherwise, your only options are to get and set the values outside the table that the table is referencing - be they channel values or the values of variables or expressions.

    The easiest option is to get/set of string values and assign each column of the table or row to display the channel values.

  • How to set the vertical alignment of text in a table style

    I hope I'm missing something easy. I know how vertically and horizontally align text in a table cell.

    What I would do, is to be able to do as well in a style - section, object or character, it doesn't matter - so I don't have to do it manually to each cell in a table. I can't figure out how to put this in a style. Is it possible to do this?

    Thank you

    Marcy

    You create a cell Style. In a cell Style, you can set the vertical Justification on the text panel.

  • Dreamweaver keeps adding an additional line in a table cell

    I'm not sure why this is happening, but for some weird reason, the second column of the first row of a table always has the text starts as if there is a blank line. I checked the code to see if something has been inserted by accident, but there is no break line or anything else between the td tag and text in my table cell. I checked the alignment and vertical alignment of the cell is set to "high".

    In the editor, everything seems normal. But once I go to see live or download the file on the web, the blank line appears in the second cell of the table.

    I think I found the problem. In Design mode in the properties box, a column has the value Format paragraph and the other was set to None. Unifying it on all of them seems to have solved the problem.

  • How to apply the character style to table cell

    I'm sure it's basic, but I can't find any references on how to do it and my attempts have failed.  I use VB and CS5.5

    Basically what I'm trying to do is to select a table cell and apply a character like this style...

    MyCharacterStyle = myDocument.CharacterStyles.Add set

    myCharacterStyle.Name = "TH2".

    myTable2.Cells.Item (1) .appliedCharacterStyle = "TH2".

    with this code, I get a "object does not support this property or method.  myTable2.Cells.Item (...). appliedCharacterStyle ".

    I tried several other versions without success.

    Can someone tell me what would be the proper syntax to apply a character style to text in a table cell, or if it's still the right path to follow on that?

    I have to select the text in the cell rather than the cell itself, and if so, how do you do that?

    Thank you

    You do not need to select the text in the cell, but you need

    to target rather than the cell. It is true that in the user interface, you can

    Select the cell and apply a style of tank, but not with a script. Thus, in

    JavaScript is:

    myCell.texts.item (0) = .appliedCharacterStyle

    app.activeDocument.characterStyles.itemByName ("MyCharStyleName")

    It must be something similar in VB also.

    Of course, you can target the text in different ways:

    myCell.characters.everyItem () or myCell.paragraphs.everyItem () etc etc.

    but I think that the text is the most basic of the lot.

  • Table cell text will not align Center

    Hello

    I have a table in a CS5 file in which the top row contains the column names. I have turned this text to 270 ° and want to align in the Center on the text in the column below (which is aligned Center). Vertical alignment is on the Center. Alignment of a paragraph is left I want the text to sit at the bottom of the row.

    When the columns are narrow enough that works OK but it does not work in larger columns; the text is always left of Center. Why is - it does not work as it should? As a matter of interest, I worked with some CS3 files where alignment is fine. When I open the CS5, however, as soon as I change the alignment will not.

    Thank you

    Your table cell is wider than it is tall? Then this is a known bug. It works fine as long as the height of the cell in the table is greater than its width. If it is wider, it aligns in a 'virtual square' (the sides equal at the height of the table cell). So if your table cell is 10 mm high and 20 mm wide, to 270 °-text align in a sqare 10x10mm. You can "fix" this behavior by adding a distance of 5 mm to the left and right of the table cell borders.

    Since this is the table cell that you really want to have this property.
