[Qgis-user] Placement of attribute tables in print composer

[Martin Stubbs]

Richard,

Thank you for your thoughts. Unfortunately the approach you suggest 
would not allow the tables to move up or down the page as objects are 
added or deleted from the maps in a dynamic way. I could add x and y 
fields for each attribute table to my Atlas control layer but I would 
need to update them every time new records were added. My document has 
50 pages of maps so I was hoping for a solution that would use the 
position and size overides you describe but in a dynamic way.

Thanks

Martin
