Subject:Adobe Table in PageMaker From:Bettyeditor -at- yahoo -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 27 May 2004 16:55:33 -0600
Hi!
I read an archive where you said that you had no problems with Adobe
Table. Lucky you! I have nothing but problems! I just loaded the patch
from Adobe, to no avail.
Here is the biggest problem: When I insert an existing table or create a
new one in PageMaker, it is placed in the middle of my two-page spread. I
drag it into the column where I want it and change the text flow to
above/below, but when I print the brochure, the table still prints in the
middle of the two pages, even though it appears in the column on screen!
That's the biggest one, although I also have really inconsistent results
with being able to successfully modify and update linked tables (by
double-clicking, working in Table, then returning to PageMaker). Sometime
the Update button is available and not Save, and sometime it's the other
way around. I've experimented but I can find any rhyme or reason for the
dysfunction.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! (I am running PageMaker
6.52 and Table 3.04 on Windows 2000).
