Table style when importing XML

When I import the XML, the columns and rows are mixing in a single-column table, how do I solve this? I'm attaching how it should be and how it's looking.

But I need to add this attribute in EDD too, right? 


No, the XML attribute is processed into an fm property when opened by fm. Then the fm property is processed into an attribute again when saving to XML.

Do you have the width value set in the XML?

If not, set a value for the property in the rule as well.

Thanks for the screenshot. It would be easier if you copied/pasted the XML into a post.

 

Your structured application should refer to a set of Read Write Rules that determine which elements get converted to certain table parts in FrameMaker. Do you have a Read Write Rules file referred to in your structured application?
