When using Sideheads, I found that if the table widths are relatively
small, table titles do not go into the sideheads.
Somebody once sent me a solution, which I find myself unable to do
again in a new document I am working on. This solution, as I recall,
was to create a new paragraph format, which was over the Sidehead
area, but had *negative* "before pgf" and "after pgf" settings to
help eliminate the extra spaces to the previous body paragraphs.
So, I redid a new format called, not surprisingly, "Table Anchor",
where I place the table. The font for this is set to 2 pts too.
I can get the table to go into the sidehead doing the above, BUT
the extra space does not go away (although it is less than before
due to the font size) - remains the same as if I had left the
space setting at 0!
Any hints as to how to fix this extra space problem?
I'm a little confused by your references to sideheads, and I'm not sure
whether you want your table title in the sidehead or not...
But in any case, the little trick involving negative spacing is this: In
your dedicated and otherwise empty anchoring pgf, set the font to any
convenient size (does not have to be 2pt, which can make the pgf hard to
select) and set the Space Below to a negative number *with an absolute
value greater than the font size*. In the table designer, set the Space
Above to the same negative value.
E.g., TableAnchor pgf tag: font 10pt, Space Below -12pt
Table tag: Space Above -12pt
You may also find it useful to set a unique colour for the TableAnchor
pgf tag, so that the pilcrow is easy to identify when text symbols are
visible.
