I have this Table of contents, but i am trying to update the formatting so that the numbers arent so close to the letters. the second TOC is what i am trying to get it to look like, does anyone know how to do with in MS word for PC.
Happy to provide screenshots of layouts or settings if that is helpful
In MS Word I want to place page numbers in Table of Contents to the left as opposed to the right which is the standard format.
How can I do that?
For an appendix in Word I've created a separate style "Appendix 1", based on Heading 1 because it has to show in the right order in the navigation pane. The appendix chapter is numbered using characters: A, B etc.
In the table caption I use a StyleRef field to "Appendix 1" in order to show the character "number" of the chapter. So far so good. For the numbering I used an SEQ field.
But ... there is my problem: the table caption doesn't restart at 1 at the beginning of a new appendix chapter. It continues the numbering.
The fieldcode switches \r or \r1 do reset, but I want to automate it with a button in the Ribbon to insert the table caption as an autotext. The \r is only necessary for the first table caption in the chapter. And what if the user decides to insert a table before the first table afterwards?
I can't figure out how to solve this. Does anyone have an idea how to approach this? Thank you in advance.
I've googled for this problem and every solution for numbering the appendices says that I have to use Heading 6 or 7. But then it doesn't show up correctly in the navigation pane.
I used this to get the result Table A.1, Table A.2 etc.
Table {STYLEREF "Appendix 1" \s} {SEQ AppendixTable \* ARABIC \s "Appendix 1"}
Problem: First table in Appendix B = Table B.3 but has to be B.1
I would like the table caption to restart at 1 every time a new chapter begins.
I have a pile of tabular data I need to paste onto a Confluence web page. The usual mechanisms are NOT working properly for me.
What "usual mechanisms?"
Copy the data to Excel then copy / paste into Confluence.
Format the content using wiki markup, meaning:
double bars before / between / after the column header cells
single bars before / between / after the data cells
and paste that into the Wiki page.
The first option gets me a table, but it doesn't show the grid lines, and the sorting doesn't work.
The second option plops the markup into the page, but does nothing with it. If I go to the first line and hit <return> after the last bar, it turns the line into a table with a header row (since it has double-bars). If I go to the second line and hit <return> after the last bar, it creates A SEPARATE TABLE with the data in it. I can go to the first table (created from the header row), tell Confluence to add a row below, then copy the data from the second table into that second row and it will do it. But I will need to repeat that sequence for EACH ROW OF DATA.
I've just lived with in this in the past. When there's only a few rows, no biggie. But I'm trying to create a table with 200+ rows. That sequence just isn't acceptable for this amount of work.
Suggestions on how to get this working?
I went a circuitous route to accomplish this:
Made a text file with my information and tab-separated the fields
Pasted this data in to Google Sheets
Copied the cells from Google Sheets
Pasted them in to the a pre-made table in Confluence
It was still faster than writing each field manually.
To insert large tables with the second option you need to first hit Ctrl + Shift + D and then paste in the table in wiki markup form.
Wrap the table in any macros required if you know the macro name and parms. This can be a serious PITA to do after a table has been created in the Confluence 5 GUI.
Click Insert and the resulting table will be converted to the new wiki format into the page.
According to this link, I'd assume it's a bug with the version of Confluence, at least as far as the sorting goes.
Looking through the Confluence JIRA, there appear to have been several issues with copy/pasting from Excel over the development. At least there's a workaround:
Workaround:
Go to the editor again
Cut out the (unsortable) table
Paste it again
Mark the first row as Header
Save the page
-> Now the table is sortable
If that does not work, please install the The confluence source editor, then edit the page to:
Remove the row " "
Replace all "td" tag to "th" tag for the first row of the table. For example, the column name "Number" will need to change from "Number" to "Number".
My Excel has 10 K rows and some rows are with background color. To maintain the Cell background color I followed this steps
Saved the Excel File as HTML File
Open the HTML code, Copy the Complete TABLE (HTML CODE)
In Confluence page Insert HTML Macro
Insert your codes and see the cell color will maintain.
I was trying to add a Rich Text Content Control or a Group around multiple lines of a Word table in order to achieve a master-detail view where I can have multiple master rows and show details in sub rows.
Is there any way to put such content controls around multiple rows with MS Word or should I use nested tables(at least try to).
At this stage adding them by code is not an option.
Thanks
EDIT: Apparently you can only use a single row or the entire table, even if clearly the header row shouldn't be repeated!
In Microsoft Word 2013 a new type of control has been added i.e. Repeating Section Content Control.
It exactly meets your requirements. You can read more about it # http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff838936(v=office.15) under Enhancement to content controls section.
