@@CreativePro How? The only thing that worked for me (sort of) is setting individual header text boxes that are linked together, then importing the header as tabbed text and creating a paragraph style that has a tab marker set to the end of the text box. This way, text will automatically break to the next box for the next row. Not particularly clean, but it works.
@@Kartenhouse This is just for a label or header row... not for multiple rows or columns. Keith Gilbert even wrote a script that does this automatically and did a video about it: th-cam.com/video/9l7L4ElCQNk/w-d-xo.html
this isn't working for me... i follow the steps exactly, the lines of the table do not adjust to the frame. did you have specific settings on the table for that?
so the text box that Blattner is manipulating isn't a table inside of a text box, it's just a text box with paragraph rules... at least that's the only way I got this to work... @indesignsecrets
Yes, as eyeslipsandface noted, this is for paragraphs inside a frame; it will not work for the frame itself. There's another video showing this technique (including a script that does it automatically) here: creativepro.com/indesign-how-to-video-angle-table-headers/ If it has to be in a table, you can consider this old trick: creativepro.com/diagonal-headings-in-indesign-tables/
The skewing part doesn't work by me, everything else does, though.
the tip is great but this explanation is going too fast to understand :/
This doesn't work for table rows, only for columns I think?
You might be able to get the right formula for getting the same effect on rows. -EG

Wow, definitely using this!! Thank you
Very useful thing!
thanks alot...a very insightful tutorial💰💡💡
Thanks!
Nice!
A great "feature" to be scriptable...

We would never say no to a LFC script! -EG
Спасибо!
Пожалуйста (I hope that's right...you're welcome!) -EG
