Hi List !
In the last few hours I got a lot of hints how to
create a table expanding over serveral pages. I
know this may be somewhat confusing, I do fell it
by myself !!
Unfortunately I still run into troubles (mostly
concerning the output of gv or the text-format
within the cells), so I now change my strategy.
Instead of asking questions concerning details I
would prefer to get some general advices !
This is what I intend to do:
1. a table expanding over serveral pages
2. different width of columns (about 20 to 25mm)
3. the table contains of 7 columns and about 30-35
rows
4. the cells will be filled with different amont
of text (for sure)
If tried a lot of adjustements in Lyx to create
the table but nothing worked well. Is there
someone who faced similar problems or created a
similar table successfully !?
I think it could be done in at least to ways (but
I am not sure of that!)
1. way: To break the intended table into serveral
pieces.
Are there some helpful hints doing it this way
(that means adjustements in Lyx!) The question
that arises is does, somebody think it will
afterwards be possible to integrate the broken
table into a larger document ?
2. way: do it in a whole piece
This is how I tried to do it till now. (with
adjustements given on the list !)
Till now I run into troubles that the text is
format somewhat curiouly that means there are lots
of unwanted spaces, as I've noticed before !
The adjustements in Lyx 1.1.4 were:
documentclass: book coma script
indent-format: left, no indents
page-format: headings
code: latin 1
indent-seperation: vertical distance
Page:
format: a4
enable geometry package
paper orientation: portrait
Table-Layout
special format: linebreaks enabled
special table: long table
orientation: left
all margins: enabled
Does someone something strange with these
adjustements ?
Again thank you for all advices and some day it
will work well. I'm sure but now I'm looking for
some basic ideas which Ididn't find in the
helpfile relating to tables ! Iow have to finish a
diploma so I'm not as creative as I'm under normal
circumstances, so sorry for this vast message !!!
Greeting Thomas
