Hello,

I want to be able to center a table and its title across a two column page. The pages where I want to do this contain text in both columns or text in the left column and graphics in the right. On the same pages as the text and graphics, I'd like to center, across both columns, a table with a title. What is the best way to do this?

If I insert the table in the left column, I can size it to fit over both columns but I can't type directly into the cells that cover the right column (I can type in the cells covering the right column if I Tab to them but it's tedious and doesn't seem right). With the table's title, I've tried using the Across All Columns paragraph setting, but the text stays in the column the paragraph marker is in.

We are using Frame 8 on Windows XP Professional. The Master pages are Right and Left pages that are set up with two columns, both tagged as A with the Autoconnect feature on so that the text flows from the bottom of the left column to the top of the right.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Tim
