Copy/pasting table data

You can copy/paste cell selections between tables in your

2. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.

3. Select a cell in a destination table and choose Paste.

Importing content into tables

Table cells behave much like HTML text boxes and are primarily intended to contain numeric or text content. If you wish a table cell to

contain a graphic or other content such as multimedia, you need to create an inflow item in the cell to contain this.

It is possible to insert an HTML item, graphic item, another table, as well as Action and Markup items into a table cell. These options

will be described later in this section, but we’ll start with adding text content to a table.

Adding text

You can add text to a table cell by typing, pasting, or importing.

When you add text, you are adding it to a single cell at a time. However, there is a way of importing delimited text into multiple cells.

When you import tab-, comma-, or space-delimited text into a table cell, Freeway will automatically put each delimited entry into a

separate table cell. Each line of text in the original text file becomes a separate row. When creating the text file for import in this way,

individual entries can be separated by putting tab characters, spaces, or commas between them in the original text file.

Adding text into a table cell

Click inside a table cell using the Selection tool to create a text insertion point. To add text:

• Type the text you want to add; or

• Paste text from the clipboard; or

• Use the Import Text… command on the File menu.

As you add text into a table cell, it will wrap at the edge of the cell onto a new line. If no more lines of text will fit in the table cell, the

cell will grow downwards to accommodate the text. This will normally cause the entire row to grow.

To import delimited text into a table

1. Create a text file in a word-processing document, using commas, spaces, or tabs to delimit each entry on a line.

2. Create a table.

3. Click using the Selection tool to create a text insertion point in the first table cell which you wish to hold the content from the

text file.

4. Choose Import Text… from the File menu, choose the type of delimited text from the Import popup menu, then locate the text

file you wish to import. Click Open.

Freeway will import the contents of the file into your table. Freeway

will automatically put each delimited entry into a separate table cell

and each line of text into a separate table row. If additional rows or

columns are required, Freeway offers the option of creating them or

truncating the imported content.

To import graphic content into a table cell

1. Click inside a table cell using the Selection tool to create a

text insertion point.

2. Choose either Graphic Item from the Insert menu to insert

an inflow item.

3. Command-click twice on the new item to select it and then

choose Import… from the File menu.

To import pass-through content into a table cell

1. Click inside a table cell using the Selection tool to create a

text insertion point.

2. Choose HTML Item from the Insert menu to insert an

inflow item.

3. Command-click twice on the new item to select it and then

choose Import… from the File menu.

Note: If, when pasting copied cells, the table you’re pasting into needs

to be resized to accommodate the pasted information, Freeway will show

a warning dialog box. Be careful when choosing from the options in the

warning dialog, because if a page is enlarged to accommodate the growing

table, other design elements may be adversely affected.

Note: The ﬁle needs to be saved as a text ﬁle, with a .txt extension.

If an RTF ﬁle is imported, Freeway reads the rich text formatting data

that is normally hidden.

Power Tip: If the graphic item is too wide, it will overﬂow the table.

In that case it is best to ﬁrst draw a graphic box on the page, import the

graphic and then resize the box to ﬁt it by pressing

Shift-Command-d.

Select and

Copy the graphic item, then click on the table cell in which you’d

like to place it, and

Paste. You can then resize the width of the column to

accommodate the item. Setting the height of the cell to 0 will cause the row

to ﬁt snugly against the item.

Note: If imported image is too large to ﬁt the inﬂow box, a diagonal cross

will show in the box. Making the box ﬁt the content may force the table

to grow with unpredictable results. In most cases it may be best to import

a pass-through image into an HTML box drawn elsewhere on the page,

copying it and pasting it as an inﬂow item, as described earlier. See To

import graphic content into a table cell.
