This option can be used to move a particular row to the top of next
page/column/etc., based on the selection.

Re: [Framers] Table footnotes

2018-11-29 Thread Lin Sims
You could try increasing the row height slightly for that table so that a
row or two rolls to the next page. I don't think using the Keep with Next
will do what you're looking for, anyway, since it affects the table rows,
not the footnotes.

Truthfully, I've never been entirely happy with how Frame handles
footnotes, particularly ones for tables. It's one of the few times where I
think Word handles it better, which means it's one of the few things Word
does that I agree with. ;-)

I don't port to any Help formats, so I've no idea why it's pulling the text
of the footnote. Generally speaking, though, if you want to have multiple
references to the same footnote, best practise is to use the
cross-reference function, not manually typing and adding a hyperlink. This
has the added benefit that if your footnote numbering changes, the xref
automatically updates on your next regen of the book file.

[Framers] Table footnotes

2018-11-28 Thread Bragg, Judy - Xylem
I'm working in unstructured Tech. Comm. Suite 2015, and I have come across a 
couple of problems with table footnotes. I hope someone out there has a way 
around them.

In FM, Table Footnote rolls to the next page:
I have one instance where "the stars have aligned" and  the table happens to 
end right at the bottom of the page, then the table footnotes appear at the top 
of the next.  I'd really prefer that at least 1 row of the table roll to the 
next page so the footnotes aren't orphaned.

I thought it might have to do with the fact that this table is in a text inset, 
but if I go to the source document where the inset is and shorten the text flow 
to beneath the table, the footnotes roll as orphans there too.

The Table Footnote paragraph style is set to Keep With Previous.
Changing table body styles to Keep With the Next would cause other, more 
frequent problems.
Other ideas?

Links to Table Footnotes:
In FM, I have a table where 3 cells should  reference the same footnote.  I 
inserted a footnote in the table at the first instance, then manually made a 
superscript letter coinciding to that footnote in the other 2 cells and 
hyperlinked them to the table footnote.

It works in FM, but when I port over to RoboHelp for the CHM files, instead of 
the manual hyperlinks in those 2 cells, the whole content of the footnote 
appears after the cell body text!  For the moment, I've just removed the 
hyperlinks, but I'm curious why my method isn't working and if there's another 
way.

Hi Alan,

I'm coming into this discussion thread late (been on vacation).  Ignore my 
comments if I missed a critical step  8-/

All of the numbering and cross-ref steps seem OK ... whatever works for you.  
But why not use Conditional text for the temporary footnotes for author use?

Conditional text name and color could be set as desired, and then turned off 
before publication.  I make this suggestion because a previous employer used 
white text for a while, but got stung badly during a change in formatting for 
publication to HTML.  The documents went to customers before anyone discovered 
that the white text was published in black and the font size was the same as 
surrounding text.  OOoops  the notes were for in-house use only.

Just a thought ...

Yeah, that's a better way. Removes a step. However, still need to update

I thought about doing it that way, but didn't have time to test it, for 
example, if there are pagination issues. Glad to see that it would work.

Integrating table footnotes into chapter flow.

2012-05-25 Thread Alan Litchfield
Hi Dan,

I feel your pain, having been there, done that.

I figure the demand arises because there is a certain, single word processor 
that does it that way, albeit that this way is not correct.

Organising the footnote numbering sequence is not much of an issue. This is 
part of the numbering control at the book level (assuming you are using a book 
file). FM footnotes typically appear at the bottom of the page (it is normally 
demands for end notes that get people worked up).

The only effective work around I was able to muster was to use tab delimited 
text, but that meant no table rules. I made paragraph formats with 
appropriately positioned tabs. In the case I refer to, few entries wrapped and 
those that did were able to be positioned at the end of the line.

What you have described sounds the best option. At least in this instance, if 
the numbering changes, you can control it. 

I would change things slightly:
1. By formatting the text you said would be white as red, until proofing stage. 
Create a paragraph format and call it TblFtntPara. I would set the text to red, 
then change it the size to be 1pt and white. 
2a. In the footnote text, insert a unique marker (sequential numbering or 
something). 
2b. Create a character format and call it something like TblSupScrpt: the 
format will be superscripted, with all else "As is". 
2c. Create a cross reference format that displays the footnote number only, and 
uses the TblSupScrpt format (like this <$paranumonly>).
2c. Then for the superscripted number to appear in the table, insert a cross 
reference to the marker in the footnote. The number will appear superscripted, 
and will be the number of the footnote.

Since these are cross references, you will need to run the update to see any 
changes are effected.

I would suggest a refinement.  The objective is to have footnote numbers 
in the body text just before the table, which are visible when editing 
but do not take up any space and are invisible when printing. These 
footnote numbers have footnote text at the bottom of the page, and all 
the numbering of footnotes is automatically sequential.

The numbers are "faked" to appear as though they originate in table 
cells by cross-referencing to the Footnote paragraphs, in the way that 
Alan describes above.  (I'm not sure what advantage there is to 
inserting unique markers, Alan?  You can just x-ref to the Footnote pgf 
type and select the appropriate pgf.)

To prepare for visible/invisible toggling, View > Color > Definitions 
and create a new colour (e.g., TableFN).  Then View > Color > Views and 
in View 2, move TableFN to the Invisible column.  Simply toggle from one 
view to the other when you alternate between editing and printing.

To use that visibility toggling and take up no space, create a tag for 
dedicated paragraphs that will contain only the table anchor and the 
footnote reference numbers intended to (re-)appear in the table. This 
tag should be set to Space Below of a negative value equal to the font 
size, and font colour TableFN (or whatever you called it).  (For 
usability by the next writer, you might give this tag an Autonumber 
string of "Placeholder for table footnotes" or other short explanation.)

In Table Designer, set the Space Above to the same negative number you 
used in Space Below in the anchoring pgf.  The combination of negative 
Space Above/Below will cause the table to overlap the anchoring pgf 
completely.

When editing a table with footnotes, temporarily make the anchoring pgf 
accessible by changing the table's Space Above to zero. In the anchoring 
pgf, insert as many Special > Footnotes as required by the table, typing 
the footnote text as usual. Then, in the table cells, insert 
cross-references to those Footnote pgfs.  When you're done, change the 
table's Space Above back to the negative number and toggle to colour view 2.


(PS: I also thought of defining the TableFN colour with the Don't Print 
setting, but that didn't work -- perhaps it only applies when creating 
colour separations?  I haven't used either feature; maybe someone else 
can clarify.)

Create a character format and call it something like TblSupScrpt: the

cross reference format that displays the footnote number only, and
uses the TblSupScrpt format (like this<$paranumonly>).
2c. Then for the superscripted number to appear in the table, insert
a cross reference to the marker in the footnote. The number will
appear superscripted, and will be the number of the footnote.

Since these are cross references, you will need to run the update to
see any changes are effected.



I would suggest a refinement.  The objective is to have footnote numbers 
in the body text just before the table, which are visible when editing 
but do not take up any space and are invisible when printing. These 
footnote numbers have footnote text at the bottom of the page, and all 
the numbering of footnotes is automatically sequential.


The numbers are "faked" to appear as though they originate in table 
cells by cross-referencing to the Footnote paragraphs, in the way that 
Alan describes above.  (I'm not sure what advantage there is to 
inserting unique markers, Alan?  You can just x-ref to the Footnote pgf 
type and select the appropriate pgf.)


To prepare for visible/invisible toggling, View > Color > Definitions 
and create a new colour (e.g., TableFN).  Then View > Color > Views and 
in View 2, move TableFN to the Invisible column.  Simply toggle from one 
view to the other when you alternate between editing and printing.


To use that visibility toggling and take up no space, create a tag for 
dedicated paragraphs that will contain only the table anchor and the 
footnote reference numbers intended to (re-)appear in the table. This 
tag should be set to Space Below of a negative value equal to the font 
size, and font colour TableFN (or whatever you called it).  (For 
usability by the next writer, you might give this tag an Autonumber 
string of "Placeholder for table footnotes" or other short explanation.)


In Table Designer, set the Space Above to the same negative number you 
used in Space Below in the anchoring pgf.  The combination of negative 
Space Above/Below will cause the table to overlap the anchoring pgf 
completely.


When editing a table with footnotes, temporarily make the anchoring pgf 
accessible by changing the table's Space Above to zero. In the anchoring 
pgf, insert as many Special > Footnotes as required by the table, typing 
the footnote text as usual. Then, in the table cells, insert 
cross-references to those Footnote pgfs.  When you're done, change the 
table's Space Above back to the negative number and toggle to colour view 2.



(PS: I also thought of defining the TableFN colour with the Don't Print 
setting, but that didn't work -- perhaps it only applies when creating 
colour separations?  I haven't used either feature; maybe someone else 
can clarify.)

Re: Integrating table footnotes into chapter flow.

2012-05-24 Thread Alan Litchfield
Hi Dan,

I feel your pain, having been there, done that.

I figure the demand arises because there is a certain, single word processor 
that does it that way, albeit that this way is not correct.

Organising the footnote numbering sequence is not much of an issue. This is 
part of the numbering control at the book level (assuming you are using a book 
file). FM footnotes typically appear at the bottom of the page (it is normally 
demands for end notes that get people worked up).

The only effective work around I was able to muster was to use tab delimited 
text, but that meant no table rules. I made paragraph formats with 
appropriately positioned tabs. In the case I refer to, few entries wrapped and 
those that did were able to be positioned at the end of the line.

What you have described sounds the best option. At least in this instance, if 
the numbering changes, you can control it. 

I would change things slightly:
1. By formatting the text you said would be white as red, until proofing stage. 
Create a paragraph format and call it TblFtntPara. I would set the text to red, 
then change it the size to be 1pt and white. 
2a. In the footnote text, insert a unique marker (sequential numbering or 
something). 
2b. Create a character format and call it something like TblSupScrpt: the 
format will be superscripted, with all else "As is". 
2c. Create a cross reference format that displays the footnote number only, and 
uses the TblSupScrpt format (like this <$paranumonly>).
2c. Then for the superscripted number to appear in the table, insert a cross 
reference to the marker in the footnote. The number will appear superscripted, 
and will be the number of the footnote.

Since these are cross references, you will need to run the update to see any 
changes are effected.

Integrating table footnotes into chapter flow.

2012-05-24 Thread Harding, Dan
Good morning,

I have a book where the powers that be want ALL footnotes to be part of the 
same numbering sequence and appear at the bottom of pages... even footnotes 
whose references appear in tables. Since by default footnotes within  a table 
are placed immediately below the table and have their own lettering/numbering, 
How do I accomplish this?

The only way that I'm aware of is a hack/kludge that almost makes things worse: 
Within tables place superscripted text that mimics a footnote reference, and 
then immediately above or below the table, place the real footnote, with the 
reference tagged in white so it is invisible when printing.

I hate it, and presents a royal fustercluck if any footnotes are added or 
removed within the chapter.

Is there a workable fix?

Thanks in advance.

By itself FM puts Table-footnotes after the table.

If you want to have them collected within the table, you need to do it yourself:
- Write the footnotes in an arbitary ?-format (e.g. tf-table-footnote) into the 
table row
- Define a cross ref format for the references to your footnotes. You may need 
to define an 
appropriate character format also. 
- At the place of the footnote references, insert a crossreference to the 
relevant fopotnote-? and 
format this with the defined format.

Alan, I don?t think you missed something.

As a workaround you may consider adding an invisible column to the right 
spanning the rest of the page width. You can use this to control line breaks of 
footnotes as you want them to happen.

width of table footnotes?

One obvious workaround is to add an empty, unbordered column that extends the 
table to the right margin. This should be fine in unstructured more, but this 
approach may not be acceptable if you are working with structured docs.

Subject: width of table footnotes?


Colleagues,

I'm creating documents that include narrow tables with multiple table 
footnotes. FrameMaker constrains the width of the table footnote text to the 
width of the table. I would prefer that the table footnotes appear across the 
entire column.

For example, in a single-column document, I may have a 3" wide table with five 
table footnotes of a sentence or two each. All of the table footnote text is 
crammed into a 3" wide space.

I've tried the "obvious" things in the FrameMaker GUI -- changing the footnote 
right margin (FrameMaker doesn't allow this), changing pagination/column 
settings in the paragraph designer (no effect), even mapping the table 
footnotes to a different paragraph format. I've tried these actions in 
structured and unstructured documents.

Am I overlooking an obvious work-around? I could possibly re-implement table 
footnotes in FrameScript, but would prefer to do that only as a last resort.

Table Footnotes

2009-05-06 Thread Chris Seal
Hi Carla,

I had this problem recently. Here's how I 'faked' it.

I created a 'real' footnote reference in text outside the table, so the
footnote text appears at the bottom of the page with the other 'real'
footnotes. Then I 'hid' the footnote reference by making it white and very
small. Lastly I added a superscript number in the table to resemble the
footnote reference. 
Caution: Although this method will automatically update the footnotes if
there are changes ahead of this table footnote, the fake footnote reference
in the table is not updated automatically, and would have to be updated if
necessary. There is probably a way of automating this.

In my situation I had to make a Framemaker document look like an existing
printed report.

Table Footnotes

2009-05-06 Thread Gagne, Bernard (Bolton)
Hi Carla,
AFAIK, table footnotes have always behaved that way. We also have tables
in our manuals that span several pages and all of the footnotes are at

enough that the footnotes flip to the top of the next page, without
taking the last row of the table with them. That just looks dumb.

Subject: Table Footnotes

I haven't used table footnotes in ages, but I have a need for them in a
current document.

Am I losing my mind, or have they always appeared only at the *end* of
the table, even when it spans pages? Pretty darn inconvenient if you've
got a footnote on the first page of the table and have to go 2 pages
later to find out what it means...

I can't seem to find a setting to change this.

Table Footnotes

2009-05-06 Thread Fred Ridder

One answer is to not use the Table Footnote feature per se.

Instead, create a footer row (with spanned cells) and put autonumbered notes 
inside it. Then in your table cells, insert cross-references to the numbers of 
the notes. This approach allows you to reference the same note from multiple 
cells, and all notes will appear on each page if the table breaks across pages.

Thanks. 

Fred & Berny's explanations remind me why I quit using table footnotes
years ago, and rewriting the documentation to avoid them.

Now I gotta fix these... Grrr Several tables in several files.

Hi Carla,
AFAIK, table footnotes have always behaved that way. We also have tables
in our manuals that span several pages and all of the footnotes are at
the bottom of the table. My big pet peeve is when the table is long
enough that the footnotes flip to the top of the next page, without
taking the last row of the table with them. That just looks dumb.

Hi,

I am having trouble w/table footnotes - using Frame 7.2 Windows. I
create them correctly - with the cursor in the cell next to the
content, I choose Special > Footnote. No problem. If I have additional
areas of the table that need to reference the same footnote number, I
use a cross-reference w/a format that duplicate the table footnote
number i want, superscripted.

Now here is the problem:

* When I attempt to link from the footnote in the table (Ctrl-Alt) and
get the little pointing finger, I get nothing, but the entire cell,
and the footnote under the table are selected.

* When I Ctrl-Alt one of the x-ref footnotes, I get the little
pointing finger and am able to jump directly to the footnote below the
table.

Am I a complete moron? I've been using Frame for a long time, and
don't know what I'm doing incorrectly. I realize I could use a named
destination | jump to destination for the first instance, but do I
really HAVE to??

HELP Frame Geniuses please!

Spacing table footnotes

Diane, 

For space between tables and footnotes, create a graphic frame on your
reference page. When prompted for a name, call it TableFootnote. The
height of the frame determines the space between the bottom of the table

Hello,



I have several tables in my document that contain footnotes, and I
haven't been able to figure out .how to create a space between the table
and the footnote so that the footnote doesn't touch the table. (I'm
using FrameMaker 7.2.) Could someone please help me?



Also, I noticed that one of my table footnotes consistently made my
document crash when generating a PDF file and wondered whether this is a
FrameMaker bug. The footnote in question was for a conditional row in
the table and contained a cross-reference to another file (which isn't
included in the document in question). I recreated the table, which
contains several conditional rows, some of which also contain
conditional text. The PDF generation crashed every time, until I deleted
the footnote.

Diane,
Are you opening the file that the cross-ref point to while you're
generating the PDF? If not, try opening it.

Cheers,
Art

Spacing table footnotes

2007-10-29 Thread Lester C. Smalley
Diane,

on the reference page of the document, you should find a small,
otherwise empty frame named "TableFootnote" (spacing and capitalization
is critical).  If it does not exist, create one using the "frame'
drawing tool.

You can adjust the height or width of this frame, use it to hold an
image for a ruling line above your table footnotes (typically a simple,
solid line but certainly can be more creative than that if desired),
etc.

As for the possible bug, I don't know as I do not use conditional rows
in tables, but I would expect others on this list to have appropriate
experience and information.

Spacing table footnotes

Hello,



I have several tables in my document that contain footnotes, and I
haven't been able to figure out .how to create a space between the table
and the footnote so that the footnote doesn't touch the table. (I'm
using FrameMaker 7.2.) Could someone please help me?



Also, I noticed that one of my table footnotes consistently made my
document crash when generating a PDF file and wondered whether this is a
FrameMaker bug. The footnote in question was for a conditional row in
the table and contained a cross-reference to another file (which isn't

contains several conditional rows, some of which also contain
conditional text. The PDF generation crashed every time, until I deleted
