How do I split a table over two pages in Pages?

Hi
I'm trying to split a table in Pages so that the text in the two adjacent rows will fall on two separate pages but I cannot find a way to do this. This was something that is easy to do if using MS Word so I can't believe it would be a feature missing from Pages?
The document I'm working with is my resume and I had my jobs nicely formatted in a long table so it was easy to work with (job title, dates, achievements etc. in different cells). Since updating to Yosemite and Pages 5.5 I've noticed that I now have my career summary and 'Professional Experience' title on the first page but the table with all my job information is now starting on the second page - leaving just a lot of blank space on the first page. One of the jobs on the second page now also splits across pages 2 and 3. I can see that it is trying to keep everything in the table together and that what I need to do is just split the table at a certain point so that I can put the first part of the table back onto page 1 and the second part of it on page 2 - but it won't give me any option to do this.
Any ideas?

Although this thread is several months old, I felt compelled to reply as I have just encountered this gaping hole in Pages functionality. Jerrold Green 1 is incorrect in asserting that the OP's problem is that Pages won't split a cell across pages. The OP clearly indicates that Pages is not moving rows that won't fit on the first page of the table, but rather it moves the whole table to the next page.
So for example, if I have a paragraph of text at the top of page 1, and then insert a table under this paragraph that contains more rows than will fit on the remainder of the page, rather than the rows that won't fit being moved to page 2, Pages moves the entire table to page 2 leaving a big blank space on page 1. But bizarrely if the table contains more rows than will fit on one whole page, then it will move the overflow rows onto the third page, making you wonder why it didn't just do this on page 1.
This is with the table arrangement set to Move with Text. If I set it to Stay on Page, the end of the table just flows over the footer and off the page into oblivion. If I set Text Wrap to None, it just plonks the table right on top of the other text. So it gives you the option to do something silly, but not the most sensible option.
If I am missing something, then can someone please correct me. Without this basic functionality Pages cannot be considered a professional Word Processor. I'll unfortunately have to go back to MS Word.

How do I run a table over multiple pages?

Hi I write TV scripts using a simple two column table which can be many rows long - how can I get Pages to automatically run the table over multiple pages whilst still allowing me to cut and paste and rearrange the script? This is simple in Word and must work in pages but I can't work out how to get it to work. I've tried looking at the Page Break feature but it won't come up from the table?
many thanks

At this time, There is no way to drive tables in Pages with AppleScript.
Do your job in Numbers which allow that.

Table over several pages

Hello
I want make a static Table, a dynamic is not necessary.
The person who fill out the form, should be able to do this over more than one page.
But I don't know how to make the SAME table over one page?!
I have no data link in this table, it should only be filled.
Thanks.

Sorry but I do not understand what you are asking ...can you elaborate ...or provide some examples of what you are looking for?

Oracle rownum usage for splitting a Table into two equal parts.

Hi All,
I have a table which has like 1.2 billion records and i would have to split the table in two parts for my Archiving needs.Unfortunately that table does not have any unique key or primary key or data stamp which i can rely for.
I would have to use the rownum concept to divide the table.
I am using the below
SELECT * FROM (SELECT ENAME, SAL FROM EMP ORDER BY SAL DESC) WHERE ROWNUM < 5000000;
But the problem is that the table is taking forever to retrieve as it has to do a order by and then retrieve the data as per the where clause.
The question i have is that instead of using a orderby clause to get the same rownum for the row every time, can i directly rely on the fact that the database is read only and the Rownum would remain same even without oder by clause....
Thanks....

WARNING! There is a bug in the code, see EDIT: at bottom of post for details
Justin,
It makes sense that Oracle could order over rowid without sorting, but I see a sort in the explain plan:
SQL> create table t as select 1 as data
2 from all_objects
3 where rownum <= 100000;
Table created.
SQL> explain plan for select *
2 from (select t.*, row_number() over (order by rowid) rn from t)
3 where rn < 50000;

What are you doing with the results of the select to archive the table in two pieces? If the archive is in the DB in two seperate tables, multi table insert would be an option:

Table created.
SQL> explain plan for insert when mod(rn, 2) = 0 then into archive_2 (data) values (data)

I realized that I screwed up above. In hind sight I don't know what I was thinking. I was attempting to use X = upper(X) to find the upper case characters A-Z. So the two queries to split rows based on the last character of rowid are not right. I don't have time to fix now, but wanted to leave a note of warning.

How is it possible to split the table cells in Pages, Version 5.1

How is it possible to split the table cells in Pages, Version 5.1?

This is a feature removed in the change from Pages 09 to Pages 5.0.1.
If you need this facility, revert to Pages 09. If you upgraded to 5.0.1, then the earlier version is still in your Applications folder in a folder called iWork.

How to divide footnotes over two pages?

Im typesetting a book with hundreds of (sometimes long) footnotes. I want a rule above the first footnote of the page. I also want footnotes to divide over two pages, if necessary. I had no problems with this in CS4 (but maybe the circumstances were different). Now I'm using CS5.
Problem one: when there are more footnote references in the same paragraph at the bottom of the page, all the footnotes go to the next page, even when there is enough space for at least part of the first footnote. I have a workaround for it (only leave the first footnote reference in that paragraph, move the other references to somewhere on the next page, setting the text color to none, and put fake references on the original positions), but that's not ideal. Am I overlooking something?
Problem two: I set the rule dividing body text and footnotes to 0,3 pt an 40 pt length. With a footnote split over two pages, this goes well for the first page, but on the second page there now is a thick, much longer line (the system standard rule for footnotes?). This problem didn't occur in CS4. Anyone knows whether this will be fixed? Suggestions for a workaround? Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks for your answer.
First problem: I checked this, there is no difference when I uncheck the Keep Lines Together option. As for the Keep with Next option, I couldn't even imagine what would happen with 700 footnotes... Anyway, using the trick I mentioned solves the problem (the first footnote in the paragraph splits correctly over two pages).
Second problem: Strange - I have a Dutch language version and I can't find anything that resembles what you mention (see the image). As you see, there is a dropdown for the usual First baseline options and one for Line above (Lijn boven). In the latter you can only choose between "only a line above the first footnote" (my choice) or "above all footnotes (vervolgvoetnoten)".
Is this different from the English dialog box?

U410 Windows 8 how do you split the screen in two?

I have an IdeaPad U410 with Windows 8 as an Operating system. I would like to know how do you split the screen in two. Also I would like to know if I can put my screen as a touch?
Moderator Note; subject edited for relevancy

hi BoJ,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're referring to having an extended display , you will need to have an external monitor and enable extended mode by pressing the Winkey+P and select Extend.
If you want to split the screen to work with 2 documents or 2 windows at a time, you can snap the windows by pressing Winkey+ Left or Right arrow - check this article in reference.
Hope this helps

Can a footnote be spread over two pages

I dislike having footnotes always keeping together in a block, and shifting to the page following the footnote reference marker in the text. (And it is very problematic to fix this for each individual case especially over a book of 900 pages.) Is there any way of allowing a footnote in FM10 to break over two pages, as in standard wordprocessing packages like Word and Wordperfect?

Not the answer you want, but it’s a categorical “no”.
You might manage a work-around using a separate text-flow and cross-references, but the built-in footnote function doesn’t allow footnotes to be split.

How do I split 1 image across 2 pages? Am using Pages `08.

When formatting a magazine - how do I split one image across 2 pages side by side?

You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

How do you rotate a table in 'new' pages?

How do you rotate a table in 'new' pages, all my tables have spun round and I cant put them back?

Thanks I tried to get my original doc back, but it wouldnt open, tried via time machine and that was locked too!
Eventually had to save as a pages 09 doc, then reopen in pages 09 and turn everything back round
Think i will stick with the old verision for now!

How to split Big Applications over two HDs for optimal performance?

Assuming both situations are using a 80gb Raptor [drive #1] and 500gb 7K500 [drive #2]:
would it be better to ....
a) install both the OS and applications on the raptor, while using the 500gb as the scratch?
b) install the OS on the raptor, and have all applications installed on the 500gb drive and have the scratch on the same drive?
how about for applications such as Final Cut Pro, which has a lot of associating files (and sound bites in the case of Audio Programs) ..... what would be the best way to split this up over those two drives? (for optimal CPU/disk performance)
any help would be MUCH appreciated!! THANKS

Methinks you're overworrying the problem. You should be able to install Tiger and most applications into something less than 30 GB. Everything I have, iLife, Office 2004, Quicken, Toast, TurboTax, and a slew more take up less than 10 GB. Install everything you have on the Raptor, then partition the 500 GB into two or four partitions and use them to store your data, music, movie, and photo files. Link them to your User folder's like named folders. That should satisfy your needs.

How can I split a header in two columns?

Hello, for the past hour I've been trying to figure out how can I split/divide a header or footer in to two columns and then align text in the left collumn to left and the text in the right column to right.
For example:
| Header length |
| Left Align | Right Align |
The only solution I have found was adding a table to the header, but it has some weird padding underneath it, which completely screws up its position in the footer.
Anyway, I hope this makes sense and someone here knows how to do this.
I really appriciate you reading this and am looking forward to your replies,
James.

You don't need a table.
Menu > View > Show Ruler
Leave the header left aligned and click on the ruler to create a Centred tab (if required) in the middle and a right hand tab to the right. You change the tabs by right clicking on them and choosing the orientation.
Then enter your text:
Left Text [tab] Centre Text (optional) [tab] Right Text
With Facing pages you can set the Left and Right pages to be different to allow the Page numbers to the outside or inside of the spread.

How can ı manage this scenerio ?
thanks...

yes Shay ı really want to use two detail table in one UI as you suggest in your blog. But in that scenerio probably tables have link in database side with foreign key. My detail tables dont have any connection in database side with my master table. How can ı link them under one mastertableVO ?
I am really sorry about my bad explanation. I am a newbie and probably ı dont know the correct words to tell my problem.

How do I extend one line of a table to two pages?

I have the problem, that I want a lot of text in one line of the table. Since I have a lot of long and in between short lines, I get a lot of free space on my print-outs as the lines with a lot of text are all put on the next page. And the maximum size of one line is one page. I know from MSword that the lines can be carried to the next page. Is that possible with pages, too?
I'd love to hear an answer!
Thanks,
Lukas

You split the line into two .
As it was explained here a lot of times, a row is an object which isn't allowed to cross pages boundaries.
