About ID numbers
The table ID used by the ATbl statement must exactly match the ID given by the TblID statement. If it does

document. You cannot use multiple ATbl statements that refer to the same table ID.

An ID can be any positive integer from 1 to 65535, inclusive. The only other statements that require an ID
are AFrame statements, linked TextRect statements, and Group statements. For more information about
these statements, see “Graphic objects and graphic frames” on page 111.
