How do I add a recurring decimal dot above the last digit of a number?

2010-04-14 Thread bern...@publishingsmarter.com
Would an equation work for you? I think it's Special > Equation, and then you 
need to select Small, Medium, Large (based on font, not on complexity). From 
there click Symbols, and choose the Diacritical. In there select the very 
bottom leftmost symbol. Type a 9. Press Esc, m, p (note that is case sensitive) 
and it should work. If needed, go with a Medium or Large equation. I'd suggest 
you may want to build all of this one number in the equation editor.

Hope that helps,

Bernard

White ruling on Frame tables/

2009-12-06 Thread bern...@publishingsmarter.com
You can do this (and it's work):

Set up your table with all the usual settings. Get your black outside lines (I 
made them Thick) and your inside lines (Thin, redefined the color as white). 
Once done you have a table with the rules you need.

Now add an extra row/colum all the way around the outside. Set the custom 
rule/shade to drop the borders for colum/line to none. Also set the outside 
border to none for the OPPOSITE side that you are working with. For example, if 
working on a colum on the right of the table, set the left outside to none. 
Apply it all.

You end up with a column that is set with a thick black border on the right, 
top, and bottom. No lines in it.

Resize it to zero inches.

Repeat with the same ideas for the top/left/bottom of the table.

If it helps, let me know. If you have issues with doing this, email me and I'll 
make a quick video for you on the idea. You will have to do some work with the 
sizing for truly perfect sizing, but I can mock it up here quickly, so with 
some time/effort it can likely be perfected.
