    Bingo…nice one David…I was leaving the TOC style as default thinking this would be OK, but obviously not. By creating a style and applying it in the export options it is now working as desired.

    I'm new to this function, and the whole world of ePub, as are most of our clients…so expect some more daft questions shortly as I continue on this steep learning curve!

    I'm off to eBub some more! ;-)

    Thanks for the comments Chris…what I mean is as stated really…if you have a page, and the table is currently displayed in word in a portrait manner, I need to import this into ID, and then rotate the table through 90 degrees to make it landscape onthe page.

    If I take the table as is when imported, and highlight it, then rotate…it simply rotates all of the text within each cell through 90 degrees…not the actual table.

    I'm sure there must be some simple way of rotating a table, or perhaps importing it in a slightly differnt manner to enable me to do this. Surely I can select the 'table' as opposed to the 'content' and then simply apply some rotation?

    I certainly don't want to have to go back to the word file if I can help it…I don't feel I should have to, surely you can do this in ID, I just don't know how…lol

    Many thanks Jong…thats what I needed.

    I appreciate its seems almost stupid to turn this off or limit ID to one line composing, but for the moment it is our preferred way.

    Once we have become more familiar with ID5 then we may well revert back to the full para setting.

    Cheers!

    increasing the leading (which is measured base line to baseline) in effect just adds space above the line you have selected. So just double click on a word (you have to have something selected not just have the cursor 'in' a word) which is in the first line of the first footnote, and then increase the leading (which in effect is just adding blank space above the word) until it knocks over the line to the next page. This could be a few points or it could be quite a large increase…depends on how many lines or how much space you need to create.

    Anyhow…as a newish user and having just discovered this site I will be asking many more questions…so many thanks for peoples help in advance!!

    Hi David, thanks for your reply.

    In Quark, you had a runaround feature, we would often place footnotes in a secondary text box at the bottom of the page, and then is we needed to 'knock over' the line of text above the first footnote, would simply added space above the footnote box via the roundaround command. It is a manual process but works very well if you become used to using it!

    Moving to idesign is a new thought porcess for us…compared to Quark its slick and the 'automation' (for want of a better word) will make out lives easier in the long run, but its just a different way of thinking.

    We have found a way to get a similar result now in ID.

    By highlighting a word in the first footnote, and then increasing the leading you can knock the line of text above it over to the next page…so i guess a similar method in a way and result.

    Seems obvious now but sometimes you can't see the wood for ther trees!
