Text flow AROUND tables

[Breew]

when using a table that is not full width , say 50% width of a page, text wont flow around it.. or i have not found a way to do so. The white space is a bit glaring and centering the table is silly. HELP..

Again, you can use newspaper-type columns, with the table in one column, and any other text “flowing” within the next (newspaper-type) column.

Or you can use a single table, and put the extra text on the right within a borderless column of the same table. Attached “TEXT & PICTURES IN ATLANTIS TABLES.RTF” illustrates such possibilities.
HTH.
Cheers,

Its not flowing around, so when editing, you change things have to copy paste out of the table then into the table.. so when doing a small table you get a huge white space.. but if you edit the document, the text above and below change but you have to cut out the stuff in the table , paste it into the main text then cut out what you think fits and hand do more adjustments just to get it to balance.. can text flow around a table be implemented?? maybe when making a table have a check box to let text flow around table if more then xx is open to end of line.. or something.. I do that in openoffice but i like the other controls for tables here and how the other parts of Atlantis just work right. Having to do tables with text , getting it to flow around tables is of great importance. even if just one choice of let it flow around this table or not would be great.

In newspaper-type columns, the text is automatically balanced across the columns. If you want more control, you can use column breaks.
