Wrapping Text Around A Table, Positioning Tab |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer used the following steps to place tables at a fixed position in the document on a page by themselves and wrap text around them: 1. Place the tables in Table boxes (all codes are placed at the top of the document) 2. Anchor the Table boxes with Page and use Number of Pages to Skip to set the fixed page of the table box 3. Set the Vertical Position to Top and the Horizontal Position to Margin, Full 4. Set the size of the box to 8.5" x 11" and let WP scale the box down to accommodate the margin settings 5. Select Edit and create the table in the box. With these settings, WP will always place the table on the same page in the document regardless of text movement. Because the Table Box fills up the entire page, WP cannot place any text on that page, therefore it "wraps" the text to the next page. The following steps will also allow users to wrap text around a table: 1. Create the table 2. Place cursor on the Table Definition code and check the line position on the status prompt 3. Using Advance To Line (Shift-F8, 4, 1), advance the text to the same line as the Table Definition code 4. After the Advance code, adjust the left and right margins accordingly so that the text will not run into the table 5. Use steps 2-4 to place the text on the right side of the table 6. After the text has reached the same line position as the Table Off code, place the margins back to the original settings Use the following steps to put two tables side-by-side: 1. Position the first table on the left side of the document 2. Insert an Advance Up code and position the second table on the right side of the document The same procedure can be used to position text next to a Table. Note: If a Center Page code exists on the page, the tables may not line up or may be positioned incorrectly. Removing the Center Page code will correct this problem. The following steps will allow you to have the appearance of side-by-side tables: 1. If, for example, you need two tables with five columns each, create a table with eleven columns 2. In Table Edit change the lines of the sixth column to None 3. Change the lines of the fifth and seventh columns to look like a table border The following steps will also allow you to place tables side-by-side: 1. Create a table. 2. Use Ctrl-Left/Right Arrow to size the table so it doesn't span from margin to margin. 3. Save the file. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for as many tables as needed. 5. In a new document create the same number of table boxes as actual tables. You may want to change the outside border style to none (Alt- F9, 2, 4, 1, 1). The default is a thick line on the top and bottom. 6. Into each box retrieve one of the tables. 7. Change the position of each table box to the desired location. You can also use Labels to print tables side-by-side. To do this select a labels form where the number of columns corresponds to the number of tables you need to be side-by-side. The following steps will allow you to put a table and text side-by-side: 1. Create an extra column in the table for the text 2. Turn off all the lines for that column, and enter text The following steps will allow you to put two separate lists into one table with the first item in the first list appearing in the same row as the first item in the second list: 1. Block the second list 2. Search for and replace all Hard Return codes [HRt] with hard tabs (Home, Tab) 3. Create a macro that does the following: a. Move to the end of the current line (in list one) b. Search for a hard tab (in list two) c. Press Backspace to delete the tab d. Press Ctrl-End to delete the line e. Press Ctrl-Home-Home to return to the original line in list one f. Press F1 to restore the deleted tab and text g. Press Down Arrow to move to the next line 4. Run the macro until it finds all of the [TAB] codes 5. Block the text, and press Alt-F7, 2, 1, 1 to place the text into a table Steps 1-4 create tabular columns. Step 5 places the text, now in tabular columns, into a table. |
