Soft enters for table column head breakup

[VeluVK]

Hi,

Can i have any option for the the below requirement?

I need to give soft enters for all table column head breakup's. (see the below screen shot). When i export to HTML the column heads are run-in against the PDF output.

Regards,

Velu

place your cursor in the cell and start this script. Hope this helps:

var curSel = app.selection[0];

var curParentCell = curSel.parent;

var curCellText = curParentCell.texts[0];

var allLines = curCellText.lines;

for (var i=0; i<allLines.length-1; i++) {

    var curLine = allLines;

    curLine.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents = "\n";

}

Hi Velu,

try the following:

var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
var allTables = curDoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem(); 

app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = curDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("TCH"); 

var allFounds = allTables.findText();
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;

for ( var i = 0; i < allFounds.length; i++ ) {
    var tableFound = allFounds;
    if ( tableFound.length > 0 ) {
        for ( var j = 0; j < tableFound.length; j++ ) {
            var curFound = tableFound;
                    var allParaLines = curFound.lines;
                    for (var n = allParaLines.length-2; n >= 0 ; n--) {
                        var curLine = allParaLines;                        
                        if (curLine.characters[-1].contents != SpecialCharacters.FORCED_LINE_BREAK) {
                            curLine.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\n";
                        } // end if
                    } // end for
        } // end for
    } // end if
} // end for
