Hi,

I've created the EDD and DTD required to import /export tables in the structured XML template, the required read/write rules are also proper place . My application works fine as far as tables are placed one bellow the other. My requirement is to place two tables one beside the other. I'm tried to place two frames one beside the oher and put the tables within the frame. It did not work. Am I missing some attributes in EDD which is not allowing me to place the tables one beside the other.?

Please help..!

Thanks,

Basav

Basav,

Have you tried to create the desired layout without structure in FrameMaker?

I am not sure if two tables can be placed next to each other without using a two-column text frame; using a paragraph "across all columns" one could create a common upper alignment position.

Basav,

Here is one way to put table side by side in the same column. I don't know your element structure, so I'll just explain it in a generic way.

Create a table format for the first table and set its Left indent to 0mm.
Create a table format for the second table and set its Left indent to the required position, lets say 80mm.
Each table must have its own anchor element (which is good practice an most cases). Set the formatting of the anchor element for the first table to Run-In-Head. The anchor for the second table should be In Column.

That will give you what you asked for, but there may be a problem with following text elements if the first table is longer than the second.
