Another approach is to use Frame Below and Frame Above for the paragraph tag(s) used in the second column, referencing a frame defined in the reference page with the desired rule. Other than setting the Frame Above/Below properties for the Note paragraph (eg if you would like to have multiple note paragraphs), it is also possible to set up the table so that it has empty heading and/or footing rows with a custom paragraph (assuming that the note is not allowed to split between pages). Upon updating the table format, the paragraphs tags being used (in the first heading, footing and body row) will be stored as part of the table format, and will be repeated in new tables you insert.

I guess you are using the first cell for graphics, am I right? I have had some luck with using a sidehead paragraph tag for this purpose with font size and line space set to a minimum and the space below to a minus equaling the line size. The paragraph will call a certain graphic in the reference pages. You can also set the next paragraph format to the note paragraph tag you want. Then you can have the note para tag with all the settings needed: line above, line below, NOTE as "numbering", etc. I find this way easier to use than the table. Especially when you want different border formatting for each cell.

Then, create the customized table below the anchor paragraph. If the first column contains the word "Note" (or a note icon), put that in the first column. Once all that is done, you simply copy the table (including the anchor paragraph), and paste it anywhere it's needed within the document. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

I'd like to create a table format for a note, with one row and two columns. I want a line above and below the second column. I've only managed to do this using custom ruling and shading, which I don't want to use because custom ruling can't be stored as part of the table format. Any ideas? [FrameMaker version 6.0p405] Eli.

Consider buying the Auto-Text plugin from www.SiliconPrairieSoftware.com. It's very cheap and highly useful. It will let you create an empty table in the format you want, and import a copy with a couple of keystrokes, whenever needed. It's great for inserting regularly-used text and graphics, too. Auto-Text has been a huge time-saver for me. Mike Wickham

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Rick Quatro ran up a FrameScript for me that does something similar, so that's one route. Run the script once for all Tables of that type and you're done.
