Snippets and changes styles

Post by MC_gemensamt »

I have widen my pagelayout for pdf but have a problem with my tables and snippets.
The values are changes in the same way for the table and the snippet but the snippets is outside of the table, se the attachment.

Does anyone know what I'm missing? What I need to do?

Any help appreciated :)

For the first table, I would look to see if there is local formatting on that one cell, to see if its margin-left setting shows a negative value, say -60px or -1in. If so, get rid of that local formatting.

Alternatively, because that cell has a list in it with a preceding <p> block, I would check to see the style that is being applied to that <p> block. My guess is that it's set to the base p style, and that that p style has a negative margin. I'm guessing that all the other cells in that table are not wrapped in <p> blocks and so the styling of the base p style isn't coming into play. You might need to create a new p class to use within tables, one that has a left margin setting similar to the left margin setting for <td> blocks.

For the second table, I don't see what the problem is. Perhaps you could explain more about that second one.

Thank you, that was of great help :)

The second problem is with the table style. I would like for it to be for aligned with the p style and the rest of the pdf-styles.
I try to change the margins to negative but the table only qrows towards the right margin even though I change the left margin.

Any ideas? :)

The problem seems to be that some of my tables have the same styles as all the rest but don't change.
Should I just remake them or?

If you want table margins to take effect, you have to set the table alignment to "Default" in the table properties. If it is set to 'Left ' for example, your table style margins will not work.
