(same would be good for images of course.)Īnother possibilty to reach the same aim would be the "keep with following # lines" in the table styles, but this would not be that good if there are tables with and without titles in the same document.īut table styles should include the option "keep table on one page". The paragraph styles should be improved with the additional option "keep with before # lines" in order to keep table-titles standing below the table on the same page. And it should be possible to insert width and heigth in percent (of the whole table).Īs discussed for images it should be possible to let text flow round tables, but this is not very urgent I think. There must be an input dialog somewhere to set exact and least measurements in cm, inches, points or whatever.
It's true: I can change both using the mouse but the measurements are not displayed anywhere nor ist it possible to insert width and height via the keyboard. Im totally missing an option to control width and heigth. Maybe one could deleted this option in the palette when the table insertion-button works as suggested. The table direction can already be edited. Therefor I would suggest to use the table insertion-button to be used to edit the table dimensions dialog also when a table already exists. Nisus provides this in the table palette which is a big waste of space imho. This fields would be great to have also while a table already exists. While inserting a new table you have two fields to insert the table dimensions. Using them with the alt-key should select the before row/column additional. Using them with the shift-key they also should select the next row/column additional. This would be very handy.īut back to the select-row/column-buttons. ctrl-right arrow should move the selection so that the second column is selected. I never saw that but it would be great if Mellel also would be able to let user move a row/column-selection using the key-arrows: If I have selected the first column e. Also non-continguous cell selection should be enabled. If I use shift-command-down arrow every row until the end of the table should be selected additional and so on. one row shift-down arrow should select the next row additional. Mellel's options to select the actual row/column are great but could even be improved: Arrow-key-navigation within tables should be enabled in Mellel as it works in normal text to move the insertion point as well as to select text in combination with shift. I would like to have the two buttons to delete the actual row or column like they work in Nisus: you don't have to select the row/column before. Holding down the option-key then should change the buttons to insert a row/column before. I would suggest different buttons in Mellel which show that the row/colum will be inserted after the actual one. Nisus provides different buttons to insert a row/column before or after the actual row/column. When Mellel will have table styles this in combination will be unbeatable. It starts with inserting a new table where Nisus has the nice option to insert some preformatted tables. I think this is a seldom example where Mellel could learn something from Nisus, but make the thing better. Additional to the discussion on table styles I would like to open the discussion on general improvement of tables.
