Re: Table Header Solutions

[lsmalley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Lester C. Smalley)]

Lani -

One thing that you may want to check on regarding this issue is HOW
the table converted after importing into FrameMaker - is it really
ONE table or did it convert into multiple tables? (Try using the
find option "Any Table" in your document and see what gets selected
the entire table or only part of it.  

The filter process can not create a table with straddles, so the only
answer is to 'split' the original table into pieces, and then, to make
it look right, these are placed immediately one after another with no
space between (the table format uses overrides!), thus looking like
the original.  (another test -- open the table designer and reapply
the catalog format to the table and if it asks, remove overrides)

For example, when converting from Word, a single table with straddled
cells becomes multiple tables stacked on top of each other, i.e., they
are consecutive in the Frame file.

This behavior could explain why even though you added a header row to
"the table" it did not carry over to the next page.

| Thanks to the many of you who responded to my question regarding table
| headers.  As some of you correctly guessed, the hated table was converted
| over from another application (PageMaker where it had originally come
| from Word).  I was correctly trying to insert the header row - the table
| header would simply not carry itself over to the next page.
| 
| I created another table with header (using the format already in use) and
| renamed the format.  Cut and paste the giant thing in and it worked.
| 
| Thanks for your quick and thoughtful responses.
