When you’ve defined a custom dashed line style in one FrameMaker document, you can easily copy and paste the
custom style into another document by pressing Shift and choosing Pick Up Object Properties from the Graphics
menu. For more information, see your user’s manual.
Table examples
You can use MIF to create a table or to update a few values in an existing table.
Creating an entire table
This example shows a table and the MIF file that describes it. This table is in the sample file stocktbl.mif. The
widths of columns is calculated using MIF statements that are only for input filters. Rather than specifying an exact
width for each column, the table uses the substatement
TblColumnWidthA for two of the columns to specify that the
column width is determined by the width of a particular cell.
Column widths are further affected by the
EqualizeWidths statement, which sets the columns to the width of the
widest column within the limits specified by the
TblColumn substatements. As you examine this example, note how
the column width statements interact: the column widths are originally set by the applied table format from the Table
Catalog. The
TblFormat statement then specifies how this table instance’s column properties override those in the
default format. The
EqualizeWidths statement further overrides the format established by TblFormat.

# Forces a lookup in the Table Catalog with the following

# Shrink-wrap the first column so it’s between 0 and 2
