Using Graphics as a table title and cell object

Yes to both questions, Dustin.

You can define a new para style for the table title—assuming other "normal" tables are already using TableTitle with text—and assign a frame above paragraph to reference the desired graphic. 

The graphic alignment of both graphics will be dependent on the paragraph alignment. Just set them both to center.

Lots of good answers here, so I'll just append this as a thought-to-have. I use the Auto-Text plugin from Silicon Prairie for this sort of thing. It lets you set up a separate FM document with text (formatted & unformatted), graphics, anchored frames, and predefined tables and gives you a menu item to use to insert them. Very useful, and only $10.

Table styles can "remember" what paragraph styles are used in them, so with a little setup, you can get this upon inserting the table:

With text added. (I didn't know if the WEEE text was part of the Notice table or not.)

I've attached the file for your reference (along with other samples I've used).

I couldn't upload the .fm or .mif file. Message me and I'll send you the file.

There's no reason why you can't define a customer Table type with default ¶TableTitle or ¶CellHeading that uses the FrameAbove feature to pull in the ISO/ANSI admonishment art from a Reference Page. FA from RP is how I used to do it in an FM7 production environment. Perhaps as a 3-column table with the larger right narrative column as a Straddle.

But, if only because FA only does Above or Below, I'd be tempted to look at using FM's background color feature, or table cell fill, to do it as an Autonumber (with no further text) these days. For WARNING & DANGER, use \u26a0 (⚠) as well.

Hi Dustin:

In addition to using a text inset, you could build the table on the reference page and just copy/paste it to a body page and then update the content. 

Or, you could also create the first table, using Frame above Paragraph for the title and stub cell to add the graphic. This post is similar to what you need, but you also need to reference a graphic in the title: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-framemaker-icons/

When you give this table a unique table style name and update it, you can add new tables with the same style in that document and Fm will copy the table structure automatically.

AFAIK you just create a new FM doc with your table in it & save it off with some meaningful name. Then when you want to use it in another doc, you just insert the file as a text inset.

What about creating it as a separate document and using it as a text inset?
