Question

Table lines dropped when table rotated

Hello forum,

I have an interesting problem I hope at least one other of you have encountered.

A document i'm working on has large,long, portrait part data tables which have been put on A3 pages and rotated to Landscape to fit with the accompanying A4 pages (This means the text is vertical compared to the headers and footers).

The problem is that after about 60 lines or so out of the 70 in the table, the lines disappear. They are set to thin for all borders and cells, yet they disappear, not like they have been set to none, but like they were never there.

Has anyone seen this before, or can anyone explain it.

Which version and point release of FM?

Is this table placed on a rotated Master page or do you rotate the page after creating the table?

Do they disappear only in the FM display or in the output (and what form - printer or PDF) or both?

Hi Arnis,

This is FrameMaker 10, Version 10.0.2.419

The frame containing the page has been rotated (on the body page) and the table pasted into it.

The table came from a plain, unstructed FM document containing only the table (generated from tabbed txt file and formatted).

The lines disappear both on screen and in paper print.

I just tried this for a rotated A3 page and unfortunately I don't get any line dropouts.

Is this happening after 70 lines on the same page or after 70 lines into table (that may be split over multiple pages)?

Can you paste a screen capture to show this? (Please turn on symbols and borders first).
