What Causes Table Data To Run Off Page?

So if you have a row that starts at the top of the page the only place for it to go is off the page. You're going to have to either widen the column (so that the row fits in the page) or manually split the row. Kenneth Benson Pegasus Type, Inc. www.pegtype.com

This is FrameMaker behaving as it is designed. A single table row never, EVER, breaks across more than one page. If you have more content than what fits on one page, you must manually break the row into two rows that will fit. And you must manually adjust that row break if the page break moves due to text re-flow. The same thing is true of vertical straddles, BTW. If a straddled cell is too tall to fit on a single page, some of the non-straddled cells will disappear off the bottom of the page. I wish it weren't so, but this is the way it has always been. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

FM doesn't allow a table row to span pages -- never has. If you can't reduce the contents of the oversized cell to something more reasonable, you'll have to fake it. Add a new row below the problem row. Cut part of the oversized cell's contents and paste it into the corresponding cell of the new row. Then use Custom Ruling and Shading settings to hide ruling lines between the two rows so they look like one. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

Okay! The row/column has way to much data to begin with. I've inherited a command reference guide, and it's loaded with long tables. Gosh, MSWord handles my tables perfectly. Hmmm. Never thought I'd like any aspect of MS Word over Frame. Angela On 6/7/07, Ridder, Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This is FrameMaker behaving as it is designed.
