Relative positioning and table titles

After going through all the already posted topics relating to relative positioning I think I have a slightly different issue.

I have a Webi report (I am on XI R2 SP4) with 2 tables and each with its title in a free cell.

Normally you want the title of the title free cell belonging to the 2nd table positioned relative to the end of the first table. But in combination with setting the option “avoid page break in table” for the second table I get a problem;
the title of the 2nd table is left on page 1 while the 2nd table itself is started on page 2.

In fact I would like to glue the title free cell to the 2nd table itself with relative positioning but this doesn’t work since you can’t enter -8 (below zero) pixels from the top of table 2 for the title free cell. (and you can only position the left-upper corner of an object)

Is there some creative way to achive this ?

I hope I don’t have to end-edit all refreshed report instances according to the actual length of the first table :evil:


Also when I want to repeat the title of table 2 on each page (its a large table spreading multiple pages) the “copy” of the title on each consequtive page is positioned exactly on the same position as the first occurence of the title. This is also unwanted behavior if you ask me…

Hello,

I am facing the same problem as you.
Did you find a solution ?
