Re: Grid manipulation

marks a cell two columns wide and 3 high. You could start with 2.2 at the front of the cell before any actual text. I don't know if that works, but it's from RPoL Help.

Re: Grid manipulation

Not on a grid, that option is for tables.

I just tried re-invoking the cell size in the middle of the grid; that didn't work.

I don't think it can be done, at least not currently.

Re: Grid manipulation

Thanks Denalor

Man, using Tables is a ... more difficult thing to parse than a simple grid where I can have columns, et,c laid out.

In reply to lensman (msg # 6):

The other option is to wrap your stuff in /tt and use spaces for the parts you'd make blank

Otherwise the thing you did tries to use the easy tables structure as I (poorly) pointed out and others have clarified.
