Hi,

Can you explain why you need to find that?

You can anyway look out for tables using a find/change like...

Hi,

Imho, Prakash's question could be about how to insert a carriage-return behind the first table, apply a specific para style to the para that supports each table and correct by applying another para style to the para after each table!

As somebody recently said: "easier to say than to do!" …

Not sure! … but you could need Javascript [no Grep!] to do it in 1 click!

[Such a script is not proposed for free because I think such a gratuity no longer values scripters' real work and knowledge, as it may have been the case by the past!]

Thanks amaarora,

I can find table. But i need paragraph after the paragraph. The space should be exist between table and paragraph. I need to give above space for that paragraph.

What about opening Table Options (or even better... Table Style Options if you used styles) and setting Space After?

Vinny,

… Si c'était aussi simple ! …

Regarde la capture d'écran : il n'y a pas de retour-charriot après le tableau !

There is no carriage return after the table?

That does not matter 🙂

The Space After value will be applied:

But what will matter:
Is our OP working with table styles where you could add the value once and all tables where the style is applied will follow?

If not, one has to write a little script to change the spaceAfter property of all tables in the story or in the document.

But that's easy. For all tables in a story, just put the text cursor in the text and run that little ExtendScript (JavaScript) snippet:

app.selection[0].parentStory.tables.everyItem().spaceAfter = "5 mm";

For all tables of all stories* in the document:

app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().spaceAfter = "5 mm";

( *tables in footnotes are not affected )

Uwe,

I know that but what will probably become problematic [because of the absence of a return-carriage] is if the table is horizontally centered and the text after left-aligned [sample!].

SpaceAfter or not, you'll have a problem!

… Because, if you read the question:

how to find paragraph after the table? …

… it could be not only a matter of space after the table but a matter of para style applied to this para!!

Hi All,

I got the solution for find the paragraph before and after the table by using table storyOffset value.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Prakash,

yes. The value of storyOffset of a table is the first insertion point of the special character that constitutes a table.
