I am trying to put a table within a table, but so far without
success! I am writing a leader's guide for a course, and this
is what I'm trying to do:
Main table is used for giving instructions to leader ie
duration What to do Notes
5m Discuss the meaning of life Use
and write answers on flipchart FLIPCHART
I then want to insert another table to get the following effect:
10m The answers you can expect are:
CONTRACTS SERVICES SOFTWARE
Yes No No
In some cases No Yes
Am I trying to achieve the impossible? At present Document
keeps telling me that the "table within a table' is too wide
however small I make the columns.
Hope I have made myself clear

A table within a table should be no problem. We probably need
to see the source to figure out what is wrong.
(Only five minutes to discuss the meaning of life?) ;-)

| 789.2 | Sounds like character overcounting | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | Tue Aug 11 1987 14:24 | 12 | |
Without seeing the code, I don't know if your problem is similar to one that I had; but it sounds like it is. DOCUMENT is overcounting the number of characters in the second table; adding them to the characters in the first table rather than "replacing" them with the new count of characters. Note 662 explains the problem and Patti explains the fix. Rose | |||||
| 789.3 | Bug; same as 662 | CLOSET::ANKLAM | Tue Aug 11 1987 14:30 | 8 | |
Rose beat me to it; yes 662.1 explains a workaround for this bug.
Note that all it does is to get around the tag translator's E-level
message. The text processor may shift to the smaller font if you
don't leave enough width for the inner column.

Thanks, everyone, my table printed out quite happily this morning
after I tried your solution.
