8.5.1 Positioning tables and table titles

To adjust how tables are positioned in relation to surrounding text in WinHelp:

[Tables]

; ShiftWideTablesLeft=Yes (default, unindent overwidth tables) or No

ShiftWideTablesLeft=Yes

; TableWidthsFixed=Yes (default) or No (centered tables are variable)

TableWidthsFixed=Yes

Set TableWidthsFixed=No to cause tables that are centered in FrameMaker to be adaptively sized to the window width in WinHelp. All other converted tables are left-aligned; WinHelp does not support right-aligned tables.

Note:  Setting TableWidthsFixed=No makes only centered tables adaptive in size. This is a WinHelp rule; no other table alignment results in adaptive sizing.

Titles

To position table titles:

[Tables]

; TableTitles = 0 to leave alone, 1 to put at top, 2 to put at bottom

; put at top when used as topic titles or jump targets

TableTitles=1

Usually the best position for WinHelp is above the table.
