make a header row appear at the start of the table and on following pages, make
sure that it is not marked as Transport line.
l
A footer row can appear before each page break (Before page break), if the table
gets split over multiple pages, or only at the end of the table (At end of table), or
before each page break and at the end (Always).
You can fill additional rows as usual. You could for example drag a data field to the new row
(see "Variable Data" on page604) or type in the cells.
Examples
For a few examples of how to adjust the default subtotals footer and (transport line) header, see
the following how-to: Custom table overflow footers.
Styling a Dynamic Table
The Insert Detail Table wizard lets you select a style, but if you want to apply a different style to
the table, choose No Style when creating the table. Then the style of a Dynamic Table is
completely customizable: you can change the font, font size and color, the borders, the cell
padding (the distance between the edge of the cell and its content), and the background color
or image of the table and its cells. See "Styling a table" on page571.
Note
When generating output from a template, a Dynamic Table is created slightly faster when it's styled
via Cascading Style Sheets than when it's styled with local formatting. Therefore the preferred way
to style a dynamic table is via style sheets.
Change detail line formatting based upon a data field value
An example of how to change the formatting of a line in a Dynamic Table, based upon a data
field value, is given in the following how-to: Change detail line formatting based upon a data
field value.
Resizing a Dynamic Table
To change the width of a Dynamic Table or of a column in a Dynamic Table, select it (see
"Selecting an element" on page469) and type the desired width as a percentage in the
respective field on the Attributes pane.
