When a table spans multiple pages, the Table Designer has a check box selection for "Draw Bottom Ruling on Last Sheet Only" which works well. I also need to "Draw Top Ruling on First Sheet Only". Is there a simple way to do this? Because the top ruling is on the heading cells the Custom Cell Ruling changes all pages of the table not just the first.

You have to "fool" FM a bit to make this look the way you want. Make your table without the top ruling in the heading cells. Then add an extra "top ruling" just above the table, either by using a tight anchored frame with a line in it, or a specially designed table with a very "thin" single row with the ruling you want. You also need to tweak the space above/below settings to make the frame/table sit just above the "real" table. If you use a table title above the table you may have to redesign that or place the table title outside the table, or in the small extra table above the real table. -- /Thomas Michanek

Another possible solution is to define the format of the paragraph which contains the table's anchor with the Advanced Frame Below Paragraph property that uses a graphic frame on the reference page that contains the horizontal line. One problem with this approach is that you can't adjust the line's width for different tables - all instances of the paragraph format use the same reference page frame. Lines in anchored frames preceding the table can be individually adjusted. HTH Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices
