The old Note 212 was deleted by mistake, so I'm reposting this information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 6-OCT-89 online bookbuilding tools for the V2 Bookreader don't format
informal tables wide enough for the (smaller) V2 window.
The V1 tools (previous to 6-OCT) managed to make tables fit in the window even
when coded as (WIDE), and adjusted font size to do this. The new tools also
adjust font size, but somehow don't manage to make the tables fit. This happens
with both ONLINE.REFERENCE and ONLINE.HANDBOOK.
An early version of the V1 tools also had this problem, but the problem was
fixed before MAY 1989.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This additional information: the 27_OCT-89 tools haven't fixed this problem,
although some tables fit that didn't fit with the 6-OCT tools.

Ross, Could you send me the source .SDML files of a couple tables that are causing your concerns? We're still working on the problems with tables and could use all the samples we can get. Thanks, Wayne | |||||

Ross came up with a problem that had escaped our test suite (yes, we
added his table to the test suite). In some cases, tables that are
coded with a lot of space between columns come out too wide and very
unnattractive online. Ross (who is in final production for the Jan
CD) has a workaround; the fix will be available to all in the next
release of the online tools.
