4D Write Pro has been designed to create all kinds of documents, from the most simple to the most sophisticated. To achieve this diversity, documents can hold distinct parts, like paragraphs, sections, headers, footers, etc. Once filled in, 4D Write Pro behaves in such a way that all of these parts can be read. However, sometimes some parts must be resized according to their content. This is typically the case for headers and footers whose height can change automatically. This functionality is generally very useful, but sometimes it’d be more practical to set the heights of headers and footers to constant values (even if their content may be truncated and no longer be fully visible).

You already know that 4D Write Pro allows you to create tables and append rows to them. With 4D v18, we’ve got more thrilling news! We’re excited to announce that managing the insertion and deletion of rows and columns is not only possible, it’s also very easy. This can be done either by programming, thanks to four new commands, or by using the interface (via the widgets or the contextual menu). Keep reading for more details!
