Fixing table display issues

If tables are not displaying correctly in your output, consider adjusting the table properties.

Fitting tables to the page

If the autofit to window seems to have no effect, verify the value set for the resize to fit contents property. If you set the resize to fit contents property to false, then autofit to window property is ignored.

Procedure

  1. Set the resize to fit contents property to true.
  2. Set the autofit to window property to true.

Removing extra carriage returns that appear after a table

Extra carriage returns after a table element when it is contained within a paragraph element. When this occurs at the end of the page, the table breaks across a page.

About this task

To remove the extra lines, you can either:

Procedure

  • Replace the paragraph element with a container element. Containers do not have the same formatting properties as paragraphs and do not create extra lines.
  • Add a style to ensure that the table does not break across pages. Select the paragraph element and in the Properties view, expand Formatting > pagination and for the keep lines together parameter, enter true.
