Adobe Framemaker/Pagination

Question
Is there an easy way to change a FrameMaker file which has 1 table per page (portrait)to two tables per page when they will fit instead of going through every other page and removing the pagination manually?

Answer
John - If I understand your question you want to have 2 text columns to fit the table into.
Go to the Menu Bar and Select PAGE LAYOUT - COLUMN LAYOUT.
In the Box under Columns - in the NUMBER Box enter the number of columns you want.
If you enter 2 then you will have 2 columns on each page.
If this is not the answer you want then email me with a sample of what you want.

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).
