I have a mysterious problem in FrameMaker 12. When creating a table I am not able to move the table title. When changing the setting to below or above or whatever and pressing Apply nothing happens. The feature works allright in FrameMaker 11. I have tried with both existing and new documents and the it doesn't matter. I can not do anything with the title position of tables.

Are anybody else expiriencing the same problem ?

regards

Bjørn,

You say that you select the table anchor and then try changing the properties. Try placing the cursor in one of the table cells first and then see if it behaves any differently.

Bjørn,

It works just fine for me too. Have you applied the 12.0.1 patch?

Hi Arnis and Klaus

Thanks for your answers.

I am running FrameMaker 12.0.1.331 on 64 bit windows 7. I had the newest patch before asking.

I have tried Klaus's tricks and it still does not work. I have also tried on a clients computer running XP, and it does not work there either.

I insert the table in a new document. Select the table anchor. Juggle the Title settings and press Apply. Nothing happens. Trying to Update All yield the same result. I can manage to make it work using the Global Update option, but that is not a practical solution.

regards

I have no problem on FM-12 with this.

To veryfy:

- insert a new table of format A somewhere

- CTRL+t opens the table designer (if not open anyway)

- switch the location of the table title and use Apply

If this works for You then the table with the problem may be crooked:

- save the document as MIF

- close the document without saving

- open the mif document

- save it as FM to overwrite the crooked one

Still the same problem?

- convert the table to text (paragraphs)

- convert the paragraphs to table

Still not OK?

- now I'm hapless
