Girls and boys and others, did you know that the Resize Selected Columns dialogue displays default values drawn from the current table's width, the widths of selected columns, and the width of the current text frame. This is terrifically handy because you can copy and paste from one field to another to resize to precise existing value. Sadly, Adobe has removed any mention of this useful information from the current User Guide. This was present in the Frame Tech format User Guide for 5.0 as a sidebar but is missing from that for 5.5. Hinge the following table of default values in your User Guide under the heading 'Resizing columns': Value Description Default width value To Width Absolute value Leftmost selected column By Scaling Percentage increase or decrease - To Width of Column Number Value of specified column Leftmost selected column To Equal Widths Totaling Absolute value All selected columns By Scaling to Widths Totaling Absolute value Text margins To Width of Selected Cells' Contents Absolute maximum value - [FrameMaker 5.5.6, Acrobat 3.02, Windows 98, HP OmniBook 2100] Regards, Hedley Finger Technical Writer Subscribe to the alternative framers: <mailto:majordomo@omsys.com?Subject=Subscribe%20to%20framers>; message must consist of only (no signature) -- subscribe framers your@preferred.email.address help end Ericsson Australia Pty Ltd Tel. +61 3 9301 6214 Cell. +61 412 461 558 Fax. +61 3 9301 6199 Email. hedley.finger@ericsson.com.au Hand Holding Projects Pty Ltd Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Cell. +61 412 461 558 Fax. +61 3 9809 1326 Email. hfinger@handholding.com.au ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
