I need to create a table in an RTF file. However I am not familiar with RΤF. Here is an example of a text file that these RTF files are supposed to replace:
GENERAL JOURNAL
Page 1
Date Description Post Ref Debit Credit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2011
Dec 1 Utilities Expense 512 250.00
Cash 111 250.00
Paid electric bill for November,
Check No. 1234
2 Cash 111 35.00
Accounts Receivable / Customer Name 115/√ 30.00
Interest Income 412 5.00
Receipt of payment on account
from Customer, Check No. 5678
. . .
The table is supposed to have borders, but I don't know how to do this either. Some cells have to have special borders on the bottom as in this file:
Company Name
Schedule of Accounts Receivable
December 31, 2011
Name Balance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adams, John 354.24
Jefferson, Thomas 58.35
Washington, George 754.58
--------
1167.17
========
I am aware of the \cell, \row etc., but I cannot figure out how to use them properly as the documentation that I have found is not very good. Please help.
Answer
This site is useful: http://www.pindari.com/rtf3.html
{\rtf1\ansi\deff0
\trowd
\cellx1000
\cellx2000
\cellx3000
\intbl cell 1\cell
\intbl cell 2\cell
\intbl cell 3\cell
\row
}
This will give:
---------------------------
|cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
---------------------------
A row is delimted with \trowd ... \row
Each cell ends with \cell
\cellx determines the right side of the corresponding cell in twips
