Merging cells
This indicates which cells must be merged. The procedure is comparable with Excel, where the range is indicated with the upper-left cell and the bottom-right cell, with a colon in between. The example below shows the merging of three cell blocks:
C1:E2
B4:D4
C5:D5
Cell
The contents of a cell can be specified by first choosing the cell from the table and hereafter typing the text in the text field. The text size can be adjusted.
A number of system variables can be included, like file name and date/time. The method is the same as printing macro-results in a text field. The available system variables can be found in the Macro standard objects. Examples:
text(Network.FilePath, Network.FileName)
text(System.Date)
text(System.Time)
In addition to text, an image can also be displayed in a cell. The cell then contains a reference to the image as bitmap-file, png-file, jpg-file or jpeg-file. This can also be a url.
In the case of merged cells, only the content of the first cell is presented in the legend.
