unable to position table footnote pgf

[Matt Sullivan]

Hi Stuart,

 

As John mentioned, your problem is that you have no frame named TableFootnote on the Reference Pages

 

You’ll need to add a frame to the reference page to control that space… it doesn’t need to have content but I believe it’ll require a name of TableFootnote, as John mentioned. That should be the end of it, and you can resize that empty frame to space out your text. 

 

I believe John’s solution is 1 step farther than you need to go...in my experience, you’ll not need to apply a Frame Above to the Table Footnote paragraph tag. To do so would add the frame again in between multiparagraph footnotes.

 

 

It sounds like one of 2 things happened:

1.       Your template file began its life with FM 6 or so, before there was a TableFootnote frame on the Ref Pages

2.       You accidentally deleted the TableFootnote frame on the Reference Pages

 

Either way, let me know if this solution solves your problem.

 

-Matt

Stuart,

You should be able to control the space above by adding a Frame Above Pgf on the Advanced tab of Para Designer. 

My templates include a TableFootnote option in the dropdown, but if that option is not already available you can build one on the Reference pages.

I'm trying to set up a table format in a new template.  I've added a 
sample footnote in a cell, and the footnote text appears below the 
table.  However, the text appears with no space between it and the 
bottom rule of the table -- in fact, the rule touches the tops of the 
letters in the footnote text.
 
I've tried increasing the Space Above in the table-footnote pgf tag; 
doing so causes the *following* paragraph to move down, but has no 
effect on the footnote text.
 
I've tried increasing the Space Below in the Table Designer; same result.
 
I've tried increasing the Space Below in the table title pgf tag, the 
table anchor pgf tag, and in a cell in the bottom table row; no effect.
 
The User Guide and the Help don't address footnote spacing per se, as 
far as I can tell.
 
Any suggestions on how to control this spacing?
 
thanks,
