About Wayne Johnson
Expertise
Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. 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).

Subject: Merging Tables in FrameMaker (7.0) and higher

Question
Wayne:
I spent about an hour trying to find the answer to this question. I'm not sure if FrameMaker can do this, but I was trying to find a way to have one two-column, three-row table with a separate graphic occupying each row.

I have all the graphics set with a paragraph tag and the text in the next row has a paragraph format. However, whenever I try to create any unity, FrameMaker inevitably only uses the graphic in the first row.

Here's an example of what I want to do.

Column1                 Column 2
Phone graphic           Support line:
Time graphic            Hours:
Computer icon           Web Address:

Any ideas?


Thanks for being an expert on this site.  

Answer
Sean - You should be able to paste your grapics in the left column and then enter you text in the right column.
The only thing you need to do is make sure your columns are wide enough for the "widest" graphic.

Then just enter your text in the right column

I am not sure what you mean by "unity."

If this doesn't solve you problem the use Framemaker and "draw" out what you want and send me a document and I will take a look at it.

Put Framemaker in the subject line.
