Re: Absolute Positioning of Boxes?

Hey All,

Re: Function To Produce Table If Row Not Blank

I could try that. That still doesn't entirely solve the last row issue. Any thoughts as to why I would be getting two vert lines on the bottom of the table? It seems like it is seeing the if statement and putting the dividers despite having no resulting content from the if statement.

Genograms?

Examples of genograms can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genogram ...

Headers After First Page...

Sorry....

If you compile the below you can see that I basically have a "custom" header on the first page. I want both pages to have the same footer, I just don't want the first page to have the custom header. I then want to have all subsequent pages have the header at the correct spot. You can see ...

Re: Vertically Centering Images in longtable?

Didn't seem to work. Made the row height smaller, but its still aligned to the top edge of the cell.
