Re: 2 Column Layout Problems

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Re: the Internal Error message and tables in 5.5 -- From time to time you 
get this a lot. That is, with some documents, Frame 5.5 has tons of 
trouble, apparently when calculating table positioning in tables that break 
across pages.

I've seen internal errors appear and disappear as the position of the 
bottom row of a split-page table moves up or down a few points due to 
editing. It's especially sensitive doing these calculations when the table 
has straddles. And chapters with many tables are suspect as well.

It's clear that the table position mechanism is broken for tables that 
break across pages -- sometimes. You can spot the page the problem is on -- 
just watch as you page through.

The good news is that every doc with a problem opens just fine in Frame 6.

Sorry -- can't offer a solution. My answer was to go into Frame 6, fiddle 
with the table or the text above, and reopen in Frame 5 (customer 
requirement). Not a great solution if you don't have Frame 6, I know.

Best,

Tom Neuburger
