Stop number break in table

[Fred Ridder]

Yes the dimension you enter in the Cell Margin boxes in the Paragraph Designer gets added to the default marginn from the table format. But you can enter a *negative* value in the Cell Margin box to reduce the default margin even if the mathematical operation is an addition. It works just the way it should.

Works like a champ guys, thanks.  At first it didn’t appear to work, but I forgot that the default setting for table margin in the paragraph designer is “Cell margin *plus*” what you put in the box. I had to change that to custom. Since I normally establish cell margins for a table in the table designer rather than the paragraph designer, I wasn’t as familiar with that option. But that’s a great trick because I work with tables a lot and that will come in handy in the future.

Yep, Stuart and Rick are correct...just create a Paragraph Formant for those numbers that sets the Table Cell properties appropriately and independently of the Table Format

You can reduce the individual cell margins via the Table Cell tab of the Paragraph Designer.

Thanks, that does work. But one problem is that reduces the cell insets for all cells in the table and causes text in other cells to run too close together. That was an issue in the original Word document that I was tasked to fix in the frame document. The whole document now looks great in frame, I just can’t get this one number to render correctly in the right column.

Check the cell insets in the Table Designer. Reduce them and you should be ok

I am in the process of converting a Word Document to FrameMaker. I’ve got everything working correctly except for one detail. The document has a number of tables with a narrow column on the right margin for revision numbers. For numbers 1-9, it looks fine. But when I get to a two digit number (the document is currently on revision 10), the “10” insists on breaking across two lines. I’ve tried changing fonts and reducing cell margins to where it looks like there is plenty of space in the column to display the “10” on one line. But it still insists on breaking it across two lines. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
