[Framers] FM 2017 Columns and Continued Lines

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hi Julie,

you could use a (one column) table for each Part Number and the belonging references. Put the Part Number paragraph in the table header (or table title) and add the table continued variable. This will be repeated at the top of each column where the table breaks.


Vriendelijke groet / Kind regards,
 
Wim Hooghwinkel
