I have a ton of tables in one of my documents I create with Reporter Plus and I have it set up where the tables should default to a Grid Table style, but it always seems to go back to Table Normal. When I open the template and I create a table, it works, so I do not think it is a problem with word. Is there something I need to do differently (maybe within Reporter Plus) so it automatically goes to Grid Table?

Thank you
Jessica

Hi again, Jessica!

Just to let you know that I've had exactly the same experience, and found no way around it. :mad: Sorry not to have better news!

This might be one for I-Logix support...

regards,
Simon

Is there a way to cross-reference in Reporter Plus. I am bringing in a document that has a title page, and a three bookmarks, I would like to reference these bookmarks using cross-referencing, similar to word. Can this be done?

Hi Jessica,

how are speciying that ReporterPLUS should use this .dot file? Try editing a copied version of the C:\Rhapsody\reporterplus\Templates\Reporter.dot with your table modifications and set the new location of this modified .dot file by placing it's location in the View>Default Document Properties within ReporterPLUS. Essentially, ReporterPLUS is using it's own Word template, so it's this that needs to be modified so that each generated report would include the new settings.

Regards,
Andreas

I have tried editing the Reporter.dot template, as well as creating my own template. I do set the path in the View>Default Document Properties within ReporterPLUS. All of my other modifications to the template occur correctly; however, the tables still do not...

Hi Jessica,

on the .dot file, you can use an inserted macro that will automatically run after a document is created from it. (Tools>Macro)

I have done this for you.

To see this working, on your generated document go to Tools>Macro>Editor and insert the following macro:


Sub griding()
'
' griding Macro
' Macro recorded 23/11/2005 by athemis
Dim tbl As Word.Table
For Each tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
tbl.AutoFormat (wdTableFormatGrid1)
Next tbl
End Sub

Now save and run the macro on your generated document. It changes the tables to grid setting 1.

Change the actual grid setting in the above code to the one you want and to enable the macro to run automatically, add it to your template and change the Sub to AutoOpen (). You may need to lower your Word Security (Tools>Macro>Security) to Medium to allow automatic macro execution on documents created from your .dot.

Let us all know the result,

regards,
Andreas

This works very well. I also added so the columns fit to content:
For Each tbla In ActiveDocument.Tables
tbla.AllowAutoFit = True
Next tbla

However, I still wonder why all the other template changes occur and this one does not.

Thank you again,
Jessica

Here is what I did. The one above did not autofit all of the columns, so here is a working one:
Sub griding()
'
' griding Macro
' Macro created 12/2/2005 by BT
'
Dim tbl As Word.Table
For Each tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
tbl.Style = "Table Rhapsody"
tbl.Columns.Select
tbl.Columns.AutoFit
Next tbl

End Sub

Well, this is not really Reporter Plus, but in VB, I had found a way of selecting all of the tables and changing their formats. Now, I would like to have the macro start at section 4 and do all tables after that section. The tables before section 4 need left alone! :confused:
