Horizontal Alignment of Charts and Tables

Con risposta
Request Demo

My team and I are having trouble figuring out how alignment of charts and tables on the same line works in our next gen document.

It may not be super clear because of the black bars hiding sensitive information, but the screenshot below shows a title, and then a line graph and a table. The table in this example is misaligned with the graph, and no amount of our changing the height, width, or any of the other section, paragraph, chart, or table properties has fixed this issue.

The most confusing part is that there are other places in the document where similar charts and tables are aligned, but the properties seem to be at the same settings, and copying and pasting these aligned chart and table pairs into the problem area will misalign them.

Thanks for any help you can provide with this!

    Hello and welcome to the Community, Nathan!

    Thanks for sharing and I think I follow you. And kudos on blacking out the sensitive info. Pro move there.

    One thing to check in this instance might be first any non-printing characters present, but I suspect maybe that's not the case, but at least worth a look.

    Secondly, are you utilizing columns to achieve this look? I tested using two columns and was able to get my content to line up. Just curious as I continue to poke around.

    Let me know too if I've missed the mark, or you have any questions for me. Thanks again and chat with you soon!

    Thanks for your response, Mike!

    I don't believe the issue is non-printing characters but I've made them visible for further screenshots just in case. We are in fact using two columns; here is the paragraph properties panel. Let me know if you are using different settings anywhere.

    I will note that occasionally it seems to align correctly, but it seems dependent on position on the page and also often splits the graph and table into two lines (even though we are using 2 columns). For example, the screenshot below shows an aligned graph and table at the bottom, underneath a separated graph and table.

    When the top graph, top table, or both are deleted, the bottom graph and table will separate as shown below.

    Replacing the top graph and/or table with non-printing characters will fix the bottom graph/table pair again.

     

    If it's easiest for you to just walk through your settings/steps which you were able to make work, I would also appreciate that.

     

    Thanks!

    Hey Mike - just wanted to update you that we found a workaround. If we insert a new table to the right of a graph with the paragraph settings shown above and then delete columns/rows as needed, cut and paste in the old table, and right align, we can recreate it with corrected alignment. It's important that 2 columns be on, line spacing after be 0 pts, and keep with next be off before inserting the table and it's important that the paragraph settings above and below the table/graph pair not be 2 columns.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Thanks for the update, Nathan. You got mad skillz!

    I'll bring this up to our team to investigate to see if there's a better way of handling charts and table padding or plans to improve that.
