Try to "Enable Table Formatting" in Options-Display menu and see if it separates the columns for you.

Hope it works.

Another thing to check is to make sure that iSiloX has processed your document as able to handle tables so that iSilo will give you the option of having tables.

In the document's Properties, under "Table" make surethat you have checked "Process Table Formatting." If this option isn't marked then no matter is you've selected it in iSilo, it won't work.

Hopefully it's the answer we've been looking for.

Yes it is so like you tell. I think the setting problem is on the propieties/text but I don't know the lenguage so I don't understant ... can you try to see for me? probably I must to have a more large setting of the screen who include the 2 columns ? or in isilox there is an option to the text in columns ?

I'm not sure if I can offer anything more in terms of help, but the iSilo forums (http://forum.isilo.com/) may be able to offer more suggestions. Hopefully Mr. iSilo Developer can make your situation work.

Translating from pdf to html is more than likely where th e problem is going to be. I have never been able to translate a pdf into html and it keep its formating (tables, columns, rows). Just a thought...unless you do it by hand after translating from pdf to html. Have you viewed the html file before converting to iSilo? Does it show your columns and rows?

By the way what tool did you use to convert from pdf to html?

It looks like they had a discussion on this topic over at the iSilo forums (here (http://forum.isilo.com/showthread.php?t=1071).)

It appears that the .PDF is particularly difficult to work with. I use Adobe Acrobat to convert .PDF to HTML, but he might not have access to that tool. And, as mentioned earlier, it doesn't convert properly.

I wish iSilo did .PDF's somehow.
