One obvious workaround is to add an empty, unbordered column that extends the table to the right margin. This should be fine in unstructured more, but this approach may not be acceptable if you are working with structured docs. <BR>

<META name=Generator content="Microsoft SafeHTML">Colleagues,<BR><BR>I'm creating documents that include narrow tables with multiple table footnotes. FrameMaker constrains the width of the table footnote text to the width of the table. I would prefer that the table footnotes appear across the entire column.<BR><BR>For example, in a single-column document, I may have a 3" wide table with five table footnotes of a sentence or two each. All of the table footnote text is crammed into a 3" wide space.<BR><BR>I've tried the "obvious" things in the FrameMaker GUI -- changing the footnote right margin (FrameMaker doesn't allow this), changing pagination/column settings in the paragraph designer (no effect), even mapping the table footnotes to a different paragraph format. I've tried these actions in structured and unstructured documents.<BR><BR>Am I overlooking an obvious work-around? I could possibly re-implement table footnotes in FrameScript, but would prefer to do that only as a last resort.<BR><BR>-Alan<BR>
