When using table editor to edit cells, I select a cell on page 20, and jumps to page 1 of pdf. On page 1 it shows the outline of pg 20's selected cell. This just started happening. What to do please? Also how do I toss Acrobat X prefs?

Is the table one that spans many pages?

Preferences? Do you mean the way the table's cells are depicted?

Yes the table does span several pages. And it is the outline black retangle of whatever cell I select, not the cell content that shows after pg moves to pg 1. Sort of like a selection outline

In the TORU dialog you can select colors for the overlays shown by TORU. The default boundary lines are given black.
Tick "Show tables and figures" and choose another color.
After clicking the Table Editor button TORU dialog closes. A right click on a cell provides a context menu with the choices:
--| Table Cell Properties
--| Table Editor Options
The later opens a dialog where color options are provided for border, header cell, data cell and selection colors. In Acrobat 9 and X a Label Option (to show TH & TD) is also present.
Tweaks to these color options lets you configure the visual display.
.
Editing cells —
A multi-page table, starting on page 1 and continuing on would have the header row repeated on subsequent pages.
Only the "real" THs in the page 1 header row are editable.
If you try to select/edit elsewhere TORU, knowing this, takes you out of "edit" and displays the TORU boudary "box" with the associated number (upper left) that denotes the current content/read order the bounded content has.
If the TORU identified the table (on page 1) as "1" then you will see the "1".
If the table (on page 1) was the second item TORU assigns it a "2" and that is what you'd see.
The actual PDF page (e.g., 20) is still displayed.
TORU is "telling" you that your in its content item "1" and asking you what you want to do with it because, an edit to a TH not in the actual/real header row is not something it can do.

What does TORU mean? But I understand your instructions about changing color.

The InDesign repeating table headers make sense, though I have been able to set them as TH with Scope for either Row, Col, or both.
Do I even need to set the reading headers to read Ok?

The table starts on pg 20 and continues to 24, but when I try to edit Acrobat jumps to page 1, which has no tables.

So much to learn. Thanks for your patience and all your help.
