Complex Table

Situation description: incorrect analysis of tables with irregular complex structure: incorrect division into columns and rows, pictures are not included in separate pictures blocks, bad recognition of vertical and inverted text.

Complex table

(TableDif.tif)

Solution: To edit the table manually use the following Image Tools to edit the table:

Add vertical separator button - Add vertical separator;

Add horizontal separator button - Add horizontal separator;

Remove separator button - Remove separator.

If a table cell only contains a picture, select the Treat cell as picture item in the Block Properties dialog (menu View>Properties).

If a table cell contains both text and pictures, then draw a separate picture block (or blocks) inside the cell using the Add picture block button tool from the Image Tools toolbar.

For cells with vertical text select the text direction in the Text orientation list in the Properties dialog (menu View>Properties); for inverted text select the Inverted item in this dialog.
