Quick Tables Gallery in the federal proposal template

On Laura Caldwell’s (Tampa) request, here is a list of the items in

The Federal Proposal Template’s Quick Tables Gallery

Word 2007’s Quick Tables Gallery provides a convenient way to insert pre-formatted tables. In the Federal Proposal template, a new group has been added to the gallery. You’ll find this new “Deloitte Federal” at the bottom of the list, below Word’s standard quick tables.

On the “Insert” tab of the Ribbon, in the “Tables group, click on the small downward facing arrow under Table. Choose Quick Tables and scroll down to the “Deloitte Federal” group. The Deloitte Federal group of Quick tables includes the following tables:

Deloitte Federal Quick Tables

 

Callout1

Table Heading

This text is set to Callout Body style. A Callout Bullet style is also available.

Callout1 is actually a table within a table. The interior table is what you see—with the blue heading and the white lower portion containing the main callout text. The surrounding table is a single cell table with white borders, rendering it invisible in print. The single cell surrounding table is set for the row to not break over pages, which keeps the callout together on one page. It’s a cumbersome trick, but it keeps Word from putting the heading of the callout on one page and the body on the next page.

Be careful when moving a callout. Dragging and dropping is not recommended. If you drag the callout, you will likely drag only the interior table and not the surrounding invisible table. To make small adjustments in positioning, position your cursor to the right of the callout. With the hidden characters turned on you can position your cursor just inside the small box to the right of the callout. This will select the outer table. Then use the positioning in the table properties to make your adjustments.

Callout2

Callout2 is a standard Deloitte callout that was introduced in some of the branding training during the current brand standard rollout. Federal Proposals are typically page limited and have very little available excess space, which means that this callout is seldom used.

Callout text goes here. Recommended widths for callout: 4.06 inches or 2.4 inches.

But on the rare occasion when you are able to set a callout in this format, it provides a pleasant breakup in the overall page layout and brings some uniqueness to the document. The recommended widths are based on the “Golden Ratio” or “Golden Proportion” and have been included in this automation for those who are less familiar with aesthetics and design. As designers, you should use a width that suits the ultimate page layout.
