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>
