Troubleshooting and FAQ for Tables

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

COMMENT

It is not possible to delete table rows selecting and deleting - only the content gets deleted.

Display tags and then retry - the table structure is protected against deleting when tags are hidden.

When you edit text in long tables (more than 2000 - 3000 cells), the selecting and editing is very slow.

Try to disable background spell checker.

When you add a box around a table, to create border, the right and bottom rules that is generated by a table overlap with the box border..

See Add/modify table rules.

This is because the right vertical rules of the rightmost column form the right border of a table, and the bottom rules of the last row form the bottom border.

Wrap table around graphic does not work

Add the box around table and use it for wrapping.

Wrap table around graphics is not actually supported neither for dynamic wrap, nor for cut-in.

Table tags in an article element cause justification error.

Declare table type in that very article element. Normally, they are declared in the body elements, but if you expect to insert tables in other article elements, then declare table type in all of them.

This is configuration issue of XML schema.
