You can subsitute % in the column widths for the proportional-column-width() function. e.g. change 20% for proportional-column-width(20), etc. This will work if all the column widths were specified with percentages, i.e. they all add up to 100. But, for example, if there were just two columns with proportional-column-width(20) then each would take up half of the available table width, and if other columns had absolute width values, then it would be just fifty percent of the remaining available width. Am I missing anything else? The proportional-column-width() is more complicated than I described, and you picked up on this. But please note the original poster states that he specified all widths in %, and so my recommendation will work fine for this case.

True, and I am aware of the nuances of the proportional-column-width() function, but this recommendation will work in his scenario, and I didnt have time to give a full tutorial in my reply.

RE: column-width warning
Is the maximum specified IPD a value that I have control over? If so, can I get rid of this warning by changing it? Another cause could be the fact that I'm using landscape orientation. No warning in a similar xsl-fo that is portrait oriented. I'm only using % values for all width values (including columns) in my tables.

RE: column-width warning
Thanks for all the responses. I will avoid % values for column widths. -Original Message- From: Phil Chu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 11:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: column-width warning Chris Bowditch wrote: From: Johannes Stuermer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Another cause could be the fact that I'm using landscape orientation.

RE: column-width warning
-Original Message- From: Johannes Stuermer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I keep getting this warning during PDF generation in an embbedded FOP app: Sum of fixed column widths 751000 greater than maximum specified IPD Hi, Are you by any chance using nested tables? If so, make sure the sum of the column widths of the inner table is about 1mm smaller than the width of the surrounding cell... Other possibilities: sum of column-widths + width of the cell-borders turns out to be a bit too large to fit in the respective region. Can you post a piece of the FO here and let us have a look at it? Greetz, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
