Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored. I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).

Topic: Adobe Framemaker



Expert: Wayne Johnson
Date: 3/11/2008
Subject: Framemaker 8.0 Table Headers

Question
Two related questions:
1. If when you create a table and select 0 for the number of header rows, how can you later go back and make the first row a header row?

2. If when you create a table and select 5 for the number of rows to be a header row, how can you change it so only the first row is the header row?

Thanks

Answer
I haven't used Frame 8 - so my assumption is based on Frame 7
Answer to Question 1:
With your Table selected or the cursor in a row - on the Frame Menu Bar, Select Table - Add Rows or Columns, then in the pop up menu next to the "add" button enter the number of rows to be added, then to the right of the "Rows," Select "To Heading" from the drop-down selection.

Answer to Question 2:
Copy the "Header" rows and paste them into a body row, they will now become "body rows."
Then "delete" the header rows you no longer want and the various body rows you no longer want.
If you want to re-use some of the text you pasted earlier - then copy and paste it back into the "header" row.

Regards, Wayne
