Automatic break of row in a table when content is too large to fit on one page?

The content in some of the cells of a table is larger than the maximum space available on the page, with the result that the content at the bottom of the cell is not visible. How do I tell Pages to automatically break the row to continue on the next page? I also notice that Pages pushes a row to the following page when the content won't fit on the page with other rows but does so on a page of it's own. How do I tell Pages not to do that? I suspect it would be the same command, but I haven't found it yet. I can do this on Word....
I suppose I could manually cut the "offending" paragraphs and manually paste them into the next page, but I would rather have Pages do this for me as the content is being edited and so the quantity of material in cells are changing.
I hope I am intelligible enough for you to undertand what I'm trying to do. I'm running Pages 2009, if that matters.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

O,
That's the way tables work in iWork. No option for automatic break within a cell/row. As you guessed, it's your responsibility to fix it manualy. Sometimes you can downsize the font or increase the column width to gain some room for your content. If you want constant format, you've got to do the manual breakup.
I'll add that Tables aren't always the best container for your material. I know that it's a comfortable look and feel, but when a row takes up a whole page, it may be time to rethink the design.

Bookmarks are not automatically creating based on Word 2013 Table of Contents.

Bookmarks are not automatically creating based on Word 2013 Table of Contents. In older version of Word, the Style built Table of Contents converted into Bookmarks when PDFing.

I figured it out. There is a new checkbox you must turn on in Word 2013 when export to PDF that allows it to convert items to Bookmarks when PDFing.

How do I make a long table fit on one page?

I do a community newsletter, one page of which is a directory of residents. On this page, I have a table with 3 columns: name, address, and phone. There are 61 rows, which is too big to fit on an 8 ½ x 11 page. As people move in and out, I need to be able to change the name for the particular address and re-sort by name. Retaining this ability, how can I make this fit on one page? Ideally, I would be able to "break" the table into two parts of 30/31 rows each, with each part side by side on the 8 ½ x 11 page. I can't find a way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. I am working in Yosemite 10.10.1, and Pages 5.5.1. I have also created a Numbers 3.5 version of this table, but still cannot find a way to do what I want to do.

Hi Saundra,
Do you have to print it, or are you sending this out via E-mail/PDF?
The fix below, should work, either way:
If you are actually not printing it, and are E-mailing/posting online, Export as PDF, and E-mail address will still be active...
If it must fit on a smaller page, for printing or for whatever reason, drag the aforementioned PDF into a 8.5 x 11 document, open Inspecter to Metrics, click to not constrain proportions, resize to fit then Export again as a PDF. The E-mail addresses will remain active. Here's screenshot of one with 61 rows, I made in less that 2 minutes as a mock-up. Links/E-mail still works.
Luck!

In MS Word, it is possible to prevent tables from breaking at page breaks. So, if a table, when populated with data gets too big for the spae allotted on one page, the table will move in its entirety, to the next page. Can this be done in "Pages"?

I am trying to figure out ow to prevent tables from breaking along a row when there is a page break in "Pages". This is done in MS Word by going under Table properties under "Rows". I have a document with small three row tables and I want to keep the tables together and move to the next page in its entirety when there is a page break. Help!

The table that I don't want to break between rows looks like this, except it fits the width of the page:
quilt name
picture of quilt
source
Size: XX; Difficulty Level: 3
I inserted a Inline Text box into the document, copied the table inside the text box, then pasted it through the document (which lists quilting projects). When the table spans a page break, even when in an inline text box, the picture which is in the right hand column splits, as well as the information pertaining to the particular quilt.
Jerry - thank you for your help. I tried to give you a "solved my problem" rating, but I am adjusting to the Mac slowly after 20+ years on a PC.

             If you 're working with advance table then you have an default option to create a blank row , please through topic 'add another row '
             in jdev guide .
             If you are working the regular table region then you might follow the below code suggested .
             Create a new item of the type button ( not submit button ) and handle the event in PFR of your controller class
            String addRow=pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM);   // "addRow " is an event attached to table
            if("addAnotherRow".equals(addRow))
                  am.invokeMethod("AddRow");
        In AMimplementation class :

Add Row in detail table when check box is checked on a master report table

Hi,
How could I detect the click on the check box within a Report and then insert a row in a detail table?
Many thanks for your help
jko

Hi Yogesh,
That is all handled by the cloneRows() function described in that thread.
In that function, we first insert a new row:
var wNew = t.insertRow(ri + 1);ri + 1 = current row + 1 and tells javascript where to add the new row (that is, underneath the current one)
Then, we loop through all of the cells on the current row and copy its cells into the new row:
var c;
var newCell;
var oldCells = w.getElementsByTagName("TD");
for (c = 0; c < oldCells.length; c++)
newCell = wNew.insertCell(c);
newCell.className = oldCells[c].className;
newCell.innerHTML = oldCells[c].innerHTML;
}Next, we search for all INPUT items on the new row and clear the values:
var inputs = wNew.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
var j;
for (j = 0; j < inputs.length; j++)
inputs[j].value = "";
}And, finally, we call the updateInputs() function to rename all of the items on the page. Apex expects all items to have unique "f01_nnnn" etc names, adding in a new row upsets this, so we need to reset them:
function pad(n)
var s = '0000' + n;
return s.substr(s.length-4);
function updateFields(f)
var fields = document.getElementsByName(f);
var j;
if (fields.length > 0)
for (j = 0; j < fields.length; j++)
fields[j].id = f + "_" + pad(j+1);
function updateInputs()
updateFields("f01");
updateFields("f02");
updateFields("f03");
updateFields("f04");
}without doing that, the data may get lost when the page is re-rendered.
This is all called from a new Derived Column on the report. This column's HTML Expression is:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:cloneRow(this)"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#FNDADD11.gif"></a>which generates the + symbols which, when clicked, run the cloneRow() function

How to delete rows from multiple tables when pressing button

Hi, I'm wondering how do I delete a row from two different tables at the same time when I press the Delete button. Both tables have GROUP_ID as their primary key.

Nevermind! I realized that I had "reset" before my process to delete from the 2nd table.

How to get current row value from table when press the submit button

Hi,
I want to get the current row value of SuccessionPlanId which is one of the column in a advanced table.
I created one button (created using personalization, action fired thru CO)in the table as column, so each row having one button, if i press the first row's button means then i want to fetch the first row's SuccessionPlanId and if it is 3rd means then i want to get the value of third row's value.
How to do it in controller extension?
Please reply soon, its urgent.
Thanks in advance,
SAN

Pratap,
Yes, I tried with 'delete' button which is seeded one.
For this, our code using row reference is working too fine. it throws exact SuccessionPlanId value of corresponding row.
I created MessageStyledText, but here i need to give text value right, then only it 'll appear in the page.
Instead i created one image and fired explicitly from the controller processRequest method.
But the same problem remains..
here my code:
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean){
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAButtonBean oabb = (OAButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("XXSubmit");
FireAction action = new FireAction("XXSubmit");
oabb.setAttributeValue(UIConstants.PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, action);
OAImageBean oaib=(OAImageBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("XXSubmitImage");
oaib.setFireActionForSubmit("XXSubmitImage", null, null, true);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean){
if("XXSubmitImage".equals(pageContext.getParameter("event"))){
String succIdI="";
String rowRefI = pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
if(rowRefI != null && !("".equalsIgnoreCase(rowRefI ))){
PerSuccPlanSearchVORowImpl rowI = (PerSuccPlanSearchVORowImpl)oaam.findRowByRef(rowRefI);
if(rowI != null)
succIdI=rowI.getAttribute("SuccessionPlanId").toString();
}else{
throw new OAException("Row is null");
throw new OAException(succIdI, OAException.INFORMATION);
}else{
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
If i run the page using this controller, it throws exception without any value, because for 'succIdI' i initialized without any string.
Can you please suggest me how to solve?

How do you copy a MYOB file on a floppy disc when data is too large?

re: vintage Mac Performa 600. We are trying to get financial data from old MYOB (Mind Your Own Business)software copied on floppy. Is there a way to split this on multiple discs?
Thanks! We are stumped.

Hello, highdef11. Welcome to the forums!
Many, many, many commercial (and probably a few freeware) products exist to do this.
There's a Stuffit product (I forget the name) that can create "segmented archives." I think DiskDoubler can do this too. Norton Utilities has a program which allows you to create an backup archive that spreads across several floppy disks.
However, you may be able to to this with just DropStuff (It comes in the "Internet Utilities" folder on OS 9 Macs) and a text editor.
Open DropStuff. In its preferences, tell it to encode the archives it creates with BinHex. Now tell DropStuff to archive the files you want to archive. It will create a file with a name ending in .hqx
Open this file with a text editor. It will look like a bunch of random text, with a note at the top that says the file needs to be decoded with BinHex.
Divide the file into sections and save them onto floppies. Be sure to note the order in which the sections go!
Then, when you want to take it off the floppies, use a text editor to piece the sections together again. Expand the file with Stuffit Expander, and you're finished!

VBScript - Identifying Rows that are too large for a page

I am trying to write a VBScript that will identify rows that are too large to fit on a page.
So far I have:
Sub IfRowIsTooBigBreakAcrossPage()
'Use to track number of tables in the document
Dim t As Integer
'Use to track number of rows in a Table
Dim r As Integer
'Get the number of tables in the document
t = ActiveDocument.Tables.Count
For i = 1 To t
'Get the number of rows in a table
r = ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Rows.Count
For n = 1 to r
If ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Rows(n).Height > 6 Then
Active Document.Tables(i).Rows(n).AllowBreakAcrossPages = True
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
I am having a hard time just getting this to run. This is meant to run on tables that have been exported from IBM Doors. I'm not sure if that [having been exported from Doors] is the issue or if I'm just missing something when it comes to the
Rows attributes.
Any help is appreciated!

Table of contents - title creates automatic page break

I want the title "Table of Contents" to appear above the automatically generated Table of Contents in pages. The TOC covers 3 pages (it's a long document) and I've formatted it and am happy. However, the title for the page which reads "Table of Contents" makes the TOC jump down to another page leaving the title on an otherwise blank page. I have tried re-typing the title, ensuring no page breaks are on the page. I've deleted the TOC and reinserted it at the appropriate place etc. But it keeps jumping down and starting on a new page. Any advice appreciated. I want to the keep the title "Table of Contents" on the same page as the table of contents themselves.

I am having the exact same issue. Long ToC (3 pages), but cannot place a simple headline above it. It automatically breaks the pages and starts on a new page. Any ideas people?
Please see the picture below. I cannot find a way to narrow down that gap between headline and ToC.
Cheers Phil
