MemberYou're not doing anything wrong to start with, it's true there can only be chosen one style for each of the 'Five directions' in a table. Header, left, body, right and footer. So in total you would have 5 cellstyles for 1 of your tablestyles. If you would even want one cell in the header/footer to be another design, you would have to manually do that, or assign a 6th style, or one of the styles that differ from the one you are about to override. Depending on your workflow.
Probably not the most easiest way to begin with, but practice makes perfect, and an occasional video at Lynda, have you seen 'Indesign Styles in depth'? Then it will make much more sense.
Still, there are some limitations to a table, but they are easily overcome with a smart cell- and tablestyle plan.
If it's just one table to format, then manually would be better, does this answer your question a bit?
MemberI tried to reproduce the problem, and you're right, BUT i know that cell styles do be the boss around a table!
So the table style should exist with a head side-, left side-, right side- and footer side-style which has that line stroke applied to the disered side. That's the only way i can think of.
Cell styles will always override what a tablestyle (either basic- or selfmade) will tell each cell how it looks.
To conclude; make 4 more cell-styles with that border in place.
Good luck, Hopsa
MemberAh yes, that would simplyfy, but yet be another workaround,
plus giving me more handling to do (change table into text) (deleting styles)
so i remain to my question; why is it occuring?
MemberAre there a lot of different headings and body text types? Or is it fairly easy to find a (let's say) bold, italic or roman?
Perhaps you can use a find/change command with a new paragraph style, as rules are only applied to the rule with a paragraph end marker (^p) then change the paragraph to the desired new paragraphstyle 'no line'
Something else if that doesn't work out
Textstitch from Rorohiko is free and can automaticaly thread all textboxes on the same spread together,
than you can easely select all text and do the 'command alt J-thang'
Good luck with that “#@$!#”-task!
MemberTrue, true, at home i have a little screen comparing to my work-mac, at home that enforces me to work with the smallest possible pane set-up. But that's the way it goes isn't it? Big screens can display every pane open and in full glory, there's allmost no need to collapse them. Good thing that you can do that nowadays, back in 'thy old days' panes we're those massive things that always floated in our path of vision…
Maybe a good reason to get that new turing-device we are allways after!!
MemberSee the icon for folders in those panes? Try one, the wasted space becomes clear…
It's like someone may have thought about it whilst writing the software… ;-)
MemberAre you sure that that particulair textframe isn't threaded to the previous one?
It should work as you say, each story (or independed textframe, ->not threaded) should have it's own numbering sequence.
If it isn't threaded; than i suggest you first make the text 'un-numbered', that is; give it another (bogey) paragraphstyle.
And turn it back into your prefered numberedlist paragraph style.
Good luck with that!
MemberA fun thing to use is the FREE Layerlifter plug-in from Rorohiko:

have fun ;-) and good luck
MemberHee ouwe-man, drietalig, of spreek je geen nederlands meer?
To the point: try to export the text from acrobat into a RTF-text document.
That usually should hold on to special characters.
Import that text into Indesign (Place text that is), and that should do the trick.
Good luck! Greetings from Utrecht
February 25, 2011 at 5:48 am in reply to: 1st post — advice needed please: Book vs. long doc? #58802Memberi've made a few Thesis books (usually no more than 150-180 pages), and i prefer to use the book function.
Be sure to build a template, with all paragraphstyles etcetera allready made.
It saves tons of annoying textreflows that otherwise would stretch out in your entire longdocument.
When i make a magazine (with the help of colleages) we all have our own copy of a basic document (made up with the proper styles and ofcourse master-pages.) Lots of single pages even cluttered together!
When everything is complete, then i move the pages from one document to a entirely new copy of the basic document created in the beginning. Thus getting an endresult which i send out to the printer.
Important!
Remember to update all your styles in one document to the other. (in the book function it's a feature, when using just different copy's import styles via the fly-out menu in the specific panel)
Lots of things you just can't predict during the build of your first basic document so being precise with styles is very important.
Good luck!
MemberJongware!
You are definately the king of [GREP|scripting]
I failed the patternrecognizing and couldn't come up with the right one.
Just for my understanding the question mark in between makes the OR statement?
Or does it state the any of the above repeated?
EDIT: Yep got it!
It states ofcourse whats in between the extra parenthesis! OR is that it is in separated inbetween parenthesis)
Thanks a million!
Hopsa (jongware fanboy ;:-) )
Memberit misses the backslashes before the ( and the d's and the )
Memberit's an objectsituation thing;
look into your program preferences, there's a new feature that says:
textwrap applies only to objects underneath.
Especially with layers (in which i throw textframes into a layer above all images) there was a big questionmark on top of my head when i upgraded from cs2.
good luck
MemberAllright, im going to do that next time i show up for work.
Which is in about two weeks, because i'm going off to see the high Alps in Germany and Austria!
Good luck with everything!
MemberWhoah!
That looks great, i'm going to dive in it tomorrow.
