Hi Rick,
So many questions. Perhaps start by looking at the Help to start
with.
The Create Table within DBT does just that, and the Header Row and
Column is purely for definition purposes. You define the text once
the skeleton has been created. And yes dots 25 are automatically
added below headings.
Once created, you do really need to be in Coded view since at that
point, nothing appears in the .dxp file on screen.
I have to say though that tables can be a quite hairy subject, simply
because seldom are two tables alike in different documents. Yoiu may
have lots of columns and few rows, so the X/Y swap feature can be a
saviour.
However, generally speaking this is a major step forward, but I have
no doubt whatsoever that it will be refined in the light of feedback
from users once it starts being used.
George.

Subject: [duxuser] 11.1: Tables
I've had the opportunity to look at a demo of 11.1 and I am very
interested in the tables feature. I heard an interview with Neal and
he talked about importing tables. I assume one can also do direct
entry. I noticed two items ("Header Rows", and "Header Columns"). Is
this just for entering the number of rows or columns needed for the
header/column ro do you also enter the text for the headers here?
Does the program insert the line (dots 2-5) which sometimes separate
the column headings from the table itself?
Thanks.
Rick Boggess
