Problem

Symptoms: A customer created a Table which spans many pages. Page Numbering was turned on either in Setup, Initial Codes, or just at the top of the file. The Table started on page one. At the top of page two, the customer inserted a Suppress Page Numbering code. When the customer tried to insert a second suppress code at the top of page three, it would not insert.

Another customer created a multiple page table, and then created a footer to appear on every page. The customer disabled this footer for the first two pages (Shift-F8, 2, 8, 7, Y), but the footer appeared on page two but not on page three. Solutions: This is a limitation of the way the Tables feature formats the page. Page- type formatting codes have to be placed before any text or information that will print in order for them to take affect on that page. Since the row and cell code appear before the Suppress code, the page numbering and footer were not suppressed until the following page (page three). To workaround this, enter the suppress codes from the bottom of the document to the top, and put the suppress code on the page before the page you actually want to suppress. This occurs with any page code, i.e., headers, footers

One customer, who wanted a header suppressed for two pages that a table was on, added a suppress code to the top of the first table page, deleted it and restored it. Then the customer went to the bottom of that first page, and restored the Suppress code again. This took effect for the second table page.

Another customer wanted to place a new footer in a multiple page table. This was accomplished by defining the new footer in the first cell of the last row on the previous page (e.g., page 4), and discontinuing the previous footer in the second to last row. The footer will take effect on the following page (page 5). For example, if wanting a new footer on page five, discontinue the first footer two rows from the bottom of page four, and insert the new footer in the last cell of the last row on page four.
