Merging of cells within a table
We are using a document consisting of tables and cells for outside
typesetting purposes. When the documents come back in (usually 200 pgs. or more) we do some pagination to the documents ie: merging cells. The document has 2 columns of cells, 1 column on the left and 1 on the right hand side of the paper, both are .5 width. somewhere in the middle of the book we can no longer merge the right hand cells. The formating properties are then carried over to every page after that disabling us from merging. Cell and table properties show that the preferred size has also changed. I have tried to change them with no success. Any ideas????? |

Merging of cells within a table
Hi ?B?ZGF2ZTE1?=,
We are using a document consisting of tables and cells for outside typesetting purposes. When the documents come back in (usually 200 pgs. or more) we do some pagination to the documents ie: merging cells. The document has 2 columns of cells, 1 column on the left and 1 on the right hand side of the paper, both are .5 width. somewhere in the middle of the book we can no longer merge the right hand cells. The formating properties are then carried over to every page after that disabling us from merging. Cell and table properties show that the preferred size has also changed. I have tried to change them with no success. Any ideas????? It sounds like the binary table structures in the document are becoming damaged. If this is one, single table that runs over 200 pages, it's not surprising... Before doing your "pagination", it might make sense to break the table up into a number of separate tables (no longer than, say, 10 pages). That might help stabilize things.
