Can we generate the rule below text covering the biggest entry of that particular column of a table?

Hi Everybody,

Can we generate the rule below text covering the biggest entry of that particular column of a table?

Currently, I am able to generate the rule below the last line of the entry using <trulez;1> but it is covering the width of the last line but I need the rule below the last line of the text covering the biggest entry of that particular column.

Please help me to achieve the desired output.

Thanks and regards,

Shahnawaz

    Hello Shahnawaz,

    To achieve the desired output of generating a rule below the largest entry in a specific column of a table in Trados Studio, you can follow these steps:

    **Step 1:** Identify the column in your table that contains the entries you want to evaluate for size.

    **Step 2:** Use a formula in Excel to determine the maximum length of the entries in that column. You can use the `MAX` function to find the largest entry.

    **Step 3:** Once you have identified the largest entry, you can create a rule in Trados Studio that applies to that specific entry. This may involve using regular expressions or specific settings in the file type configuration to ensure that the rule is applied correctly.

    **Step 4:** If you are currently generating rules below the last line of the entry, you may need to adjust the positioning of the rule to ensure it aligns with the largest entry instead. This could involve modifying the settings in the Excel file type or adjusting the embedded content processing settings.

    **Step 5:** Test the changes by generating the output again to see if the rule now appears below the largest entry as intended.

    If you encounter any specific issues or error messages during this process, please provide those details for further assistance.
