Mapping table tags

The table tags in FrameMaker have WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition 7.0 equivalents. Often, the output target has only limited table formatting capabilities (especially WinHelp). As a result, you may not be able to reproduce sophisticated table formatting from your FrameMaker files.

Here's how to map table tags:

  1. Click the FrameMaker and Generated Files folder. (If you want to set a custom mapping for a single file, click that file instead.)
  2. Select Project > Properties, or right-click and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
  3. The Properties window is displayed. By default, the mappings for paragraph tags are shown.

  4. Click the Table subtab at the bottom of the window to display the table mappings.


  5. The list on the left shows the table tags in your FrameMaker files. The list on the right shows the WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition 7.0 table styles.

  6. To change a mapping, click the FrameMaker style that you want to change. Then, select the WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition 7.0 style you want from the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box.
  7. When you're finished, click OK to save the mappings and close the Properties window.
