I can't create a table in Arbor text Editor

My table tab in my tool bar is clear. My tables in my document are shown in attribute format. I need to view in table format to do mass editing of tables with hundreds of rows. Do anyone know of a solution.

The Arbortext visual table editor is kind of finicky. I think there is documentation on it, but in the past the only way we have got it to work with custom doctypes is to make sure they are conforming to standard CALS. I'm not quite sure what triggers it, but if your table model starts to vary too much from CALS it will drop you back to tags and attributes mode.

Not sure if that helps or not.

One can enter from the Arbortext Editor command line the command

_tbl_model_create(0,'oasis exchange',0)

and hit the Enter key to see what might be the difference in your table model definition and that of CALS/OASIS model definition
