Strange behaviour of RTF report concerning tables

[Jonathan Lubach]

Hey folks,

I have the following problem:

In my RTF template there is the following structure:

connector >
source >
element >
----------------------------------------------
|{Element.Name}  |{Element.Alias}     |
----------------------------------------------
< element
< source
< connector

The dashes and vertical dashes shall represent a table with one row and two columns. So for each connector only the source element's name and alias shall be printed in the report as a table with x rows when there are x connectors.

In the report all rows excluding the last row (bottom row of the resulting table) are printed correctly. The text in the cells is aligned left with no indent. But the last row's cell's text is indented about 1.5cm?!?

Like this:
--------------------------------------------------
|{Element.Name}      |{Element.Alias}     |
--------------------------------------------------
|{Element.Name}      |{Element.Alias}     |
--------------------------------------------------
|    {Element.Name}  |   {Element.Alias}  |
--------------------------------------------------

I have to say, that the whole table is positioned with an offset from the left page border by 1.5cm.

Did I do something wrong with the template?

Thanks!
Jonathan

If you need highly-formatted document, have you looked at eaDocX?

Ian,

thanks. But this answer did not help me at all. The features of eaDocX are not sufficient enaugh to fulfill our needs. The possibilities in formatting tables and the tables contents are not enaugh.

Can you provide us a few more details about your template, or maybe provide us the complete template for investigation?

P.S. Sie haben eine neue Nachricht :-)

Hi folks,

I got another instance of this problem where all table cells are formatted in the wrong way like the third row in the table of my first post...

From investigating the element's content printed into the report I found out, that the text of the diagram note (which has been printed directly above the table) contains a paragraph break.

When I delete this break, the report is correctly formatted; when I re-add this paragraph break, it is like described above.

Another thing: When I select "Optimize for Open Office" both solutions work properly. So it has something to do with the paragraph break in the "Diagram.Notes" field and the field itself causing this problem.

Hi,

i have a similar problem again:

In my RTF-Template I have a table with 5 columns. The table lists elements of a package, so I created a table with 5 cols and 2 rows where the first row is the header row (not repeated for all elements).

In the last column I use the document part "Run State" where I use all fields. When I run the report, the first element's Runstate is not correctly replaced: In the generated report there stands {ElemRunState.Variable} instead of the correct value which I assigned in EA.

This only appears in the first row of the table (first element). I can reorder the elements, it is always the first row.

Does anybody know any hint?

Thanks!
Jonathan

I beleive this is a known bug ? I've hit it before, not sure if its been fixed in latest release or the beta.
