Active Tables for Adobe InDesignFeatures
The plug-in creates 3 new panels:
Using Active Tables The most important one is the Formulas panel - click somewhere in table or text and then click in the topmost edit box in the panel - this way you create a new formula. The way to use calculations is easy, first choose source numbers to be used - either by typing coordinates of the cells, or simply clicking on the cells to be inserted into formula then choose the functions to use on these numbers (green button, or you can type them in).Typical example of a simple formula is SUM (A1:A5) - sums first 5 cells in the first column. you can also just type in the cell A6 the following: =SUM (A1:A5) and click on convert text to formula command with cursor placed at the end of the formula. You can define how to display the result number either by choosing from the common presets, or using a freeform composition format. # stands for number .# stands for decimal place . The number can look different if the result is a negative value (you can set even a different cell or character style for positive and negative results).Back to Active Tables for Adobe InDesign Home Learn more about Active Tables for Adobe InDesignRelated resources |
