Can I single-source a table?

[kevinmcl]

We have a table of contact info for our support offices, worldwide. We want it in all our customer-facing docs, identically, and updated across the board when we have reason to add an office, remove an office, change a phone number, etc.

Unless I've missed something, I can't make a variable of an entire table.

Flare 10 doesn't want to make a snippet out of a table... the action gets grayed-out on the ribbon when I select anything that includes a table.

Other than that, we likes our table, we does. So do the powers-that-be who review docs.

Suggestions? Directions to a relevant place in the Flare Docs? Keyword(s)?

Thanks,

Kevin (no-no... the OTHER Kevin)

Yes, this is just an eccentricity of the Flare UI I think. Copying and pasting a table into a snippet works fine, so just create a new empty snippet using the Content Explorer window, then paste in the table you want to single-source.

DUH!

Never mind.

I did this years ago, and forgot.

Just create a blank snippet and THEN put the table in.

DUH!

Sorry to bother everyone.

Whoops! Didn't mean to slight "dorcutt". Our posts must have crossed in the mail.

Thank you.



PS: EXCEPT when I embarrass myself, I just love the instant response on this forum.

I took it as a head slap moment when you read the reply...

...sort of "why didn't I think (remember) of that?"
