Remember Text In Heading Row of Table Style?

Question

How do I get Framemaker to remember the text I enter into a particular heading row of a particular table style? What I want to do is click insert table, select the table style of choice, and have the table pop in with certain information already populated to the cells. Anyone?

Simple Hack: for a small number of various Tables, the Table format could have a unique paragraph style/format for ¶CellHeadingn. That format would use /Numbering\ auto-number with a text string prefix that is the unique cell text. As soon as you create a new empty table of the selected style, it already has the associated cell heading(s).

Template-like example tables, with table rows and columns, can be created on Reference Pages for easy stewardship and preview.

Before I say, that it can't be done &#128578; can you possibly more information to your question? What exactly is "certain information"? Where is the "certain information" to come from?If you have a number of lines with tabbed text, you can select the lines, click  Table -> Convert to table. That would immediately turn the text into a table, but the text will not come out of nowhere. Database publishing might be another scenario where you import text with markup, that will publish it as  - for instance - tables. But again, not text appearing out of nowhere.
