Reply To: Table Frustrations

Hi Guys,

alternating rows are not honored by header and footer rows. So the trick is, to insert another row and convert it to a footer row, height: 0p3, border-top: 0. I modified Davids idml a bit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ss88l05yf17qnqj/RowsAndColumns.zip?dl=0). The second table shows the final result, if you apply the table style “rows and columns”

@ Nick: There are several scripts on the Adobe scripting forum available for dealing with column width in tables. One of the easiest will be something like that:

app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().columns.everyItem().width = "30mm";

This line will apply a width of 30 mm to every column in every table in your document.
