Just adding to what Stuart said: If unstructured, or structured using paragraph tags, make one or two extra paragraph tags for cells with a right tab as far to the right as needed.for the Description column (call it e.g. "CellDescription"). You may also find it helpful to set the right cell margin to 0. Insert the tab character by ESC-TAB. If you need continuous dots in the QTY column, just do the same there except that the left cell margin might need to be set to 0.
If Structured, this can be automated a little more (in a way, similar to what you do in Ref pages with ToCs etc. HTH, Bodvar 2010/2/5 Ken Poshedly <poshe...@bellsouth.net>: > Group, > > I've check the FrameMaker help feature, Googled for it, and poked all over > the Reference page and paragraph formatting menus for this one, but with no > luck so far. > > The parts book I'm working on includes nearly 150 lists (tables), all > formatted the same, with the line art graphic on the left page and the parts > list opposite it on the right facing page.
