[Solved] Right edge of table won't print

Post by Filthy Rich »

Hi all! I'm making a form and it includes tables.
However the right side borders of the tables will not print, to a PDF printer or a physical printer (paper).
It looks FINE in page preview.
I've tried adjusting the right side column, checked paper size (8 1/2 x 11) re-did the border schemes, etc.
Nothing seems to help. I have previous versions that don't do this.
Only change I made was to make six rows of the table a tad bit bigger horizontally.
Also there seems to be a ghost row (light gray outline) in the table at the bottom but I can't select it or delete it but I can type in it.
I'm baffled! The left table border prints fine, just not the right border.
FYI my form's tables are different number of columns in each section,
like a 1-column title section and then 4 rows below these with 4 columns and then repeats 6x.
Don't see an attachment button here but can share doc via goggle docs if you wanna see it.
OPEN for suggestions!

We can guess only without a sample document...

What line width / color are you using for the table border?

Only the border line is invisible or some characters are invisible too?

Select the table and look at the setting for the right margin - it is set to -.0.02". Set it to zero. You should also position your table in the outer frame - it is offset to the left.

...in other words:
Your Table is not "a Table in a Document", but it is "a Table in a Frame". You must resize/fit your table size to the new size of the Frame.

Hi again and thanks!
I set all the margins to 0.00" and it looks great!
You mentioned "not "a Table in a Document", but it is "a Table in a Frame"."
Is there a better way to do this so the table is not in a frame?
Thanks again so much! Our programmers are really going to like this new form!

I don't think you need a frame to hold the table- the table effectively acts as its own frame.
