182.0. "Online table needed adjustments" by BOOKIE::DUNCAN () Tue Aug 08 1989 15:25

    
    FYI, I had to recode the setup for a table with nine columns. 
    Two of the column heads ran together online like this:
    
    	OutlineOutlineOutline 
   ... 	Color  PatternRule    Width  Pen ...  Fill Pattern
    
    In the hard copy version, the columns were separated by a single
    space and there wasn't any room to add more space - the words
    Fill Pattern were on separate lines already.  In the online
    version, I added two more spaces to each offending column and 
    still had plenty of space.
    
    Isn't the idea to only have to code one set of files?
                              
    Did I cheat?

    Yes, the idea is to have only one source file. Unfortunately, for
    tables this is extremely difficult. We use a larger point size and
    smaller 'page' (window) size online than for hardcopy so the table
    setup parameters supplied for hardcopy tables often do not work online
    and need to be tweaked. Using the \wide attribute, where possible, can
    also help.
