Question

Convert Specific Table Row (heading) row to Text

Hi - is there a way to convert only a specific row or selected rows to text in FM (2015?)

The reason I need to do this is because (have numerous instances of)  a repeated header row that then gets tied up with the next table's header in a set of sequencing headers.

The only way I have figured out around this is to convert the table to text and reformat the offending table, but the tables are long and detailed, and I really just want to cut out that specific repeating header.

Alternatively, what is (is there) a method for converting a header row to a body row? Maybe that would isolate the problem, not certain.

Thanks.

    Another option would be - is there a sold way to break a table in two?

    I have tried Row Format > Top of Page (while deselecting Keep with Next) but that does not seem to work.

    Thx

    There was an Add-on called Table Cleaner, which might be helpful.

    I am not sure if it is still available
