Can a Table Cell span more than one page?

I'm working with tables in Pages to create a list of literature and important takeaways from each article. Sometimes the important information is more than I can fit on one page. However, Pages doesn't seem to be able to handle splitting cells across multiple pages. Instead, it seems to "push" the overflow text beyond the page, so I can't even see it as I'm typing.
In Word, such situations just cause the table cell to continue on to the next page. But I can't figure out how to do that in Pages. (And I'm a little concerned that there's not a way to handle this.)
Thanks!
Gary

The cell in question does split across 2 pages. "Do I need to" do that isn't really the point.
My question was whether Pages can handle splitting a table cell across 2 pages.
Pages can't; Word can.
(I'm trying to switch over for all of my future work into Pages, so there's a learning curve for me. The type of work I'm doing does have cells that split over 2 pages. In Word, it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, in Pages, I need to split the row in order to do the same thing. Which is kind of a pain, since I'm building the table dynamically and may insert rows above, below or between existing rows. In Word, it automatically handles moving the cells across multiple pages - or merging them back if I edit the text or insert/remove rows above.)

How can a table cell span more than one page?

I need to configure a table of text that permits a single cell containing a large quantity of text to automatically span several pages. This works easily in WORD but not (apparently) in PAGES. I have used the Inspector to check that the table is configured to "Automatically resize to fit content", and that text also wraps in the cells. However, when text entered into a cell reaches the bottom of the page it disappears from view, even though more text can still be added to thst cell. Thus, the contents of the cell do not automatically flow into view on the next page (as automatically does happen in Microsoft Word). The "Pages08 User Manual", page 177, makes no reference to this facility. Neither does the video tutorial on Pages tables. Furthermore, I can find nothing in the "Template Chooser" that I can adapt to my needs. I very much doubt that this is a real limitation in Pages software - so what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Peter. Okay, I have tried this but without too much success.
I set up a landscape, two column page and imported the Russian text. That resulted in 13 pages of Russian text, in both left and right columns. I then added the English at the end of the Russian and now have 26 pages in total. Then, as you suggest, I inserted a Column Break after the Russian. This forced the English to begin afresh on page 14.
Now I need to find a way of keeping all the Russian text in the left column of all the 26 pages so that I can have the corresponding English translation adjacent in the right column (for all pages 1 - 26). I have explored your suggestion of Layout Breaks but think I have either misunderstood you, or I am doing something fundamentally wrong!
Okay, so now I need to be a little more specific to help you visualize the problem. On my page 1, left column, I have three paragraphs of Russian. Para 4 begins close to the bottom of the left column and flows, as expected into the right-hand column of page 1. Now, if I insert a Layout Break at the end of para 3, I find paras 1-3 are uniformly shared across both the left and right columns. Para 4 stays in the left column, and understandably has moved up somewhat, but para 5, following correctly below para 4 in the left column now flows into the right column, following on from the end of para 3. There are no visual breaks, so now my page 1 left column reads paras 1, 2, first part of 3, then 4 and first part of 5, while the right column now shows the second part of para 3 and the the second part of para 5. This is confusing to understand and confusing to read. This is no good at all.
Inserting a Section Break after para 3 results in para 4 beginning in the left column of page 2 and the whole of the right column of page 1 remains blank. It also seems that that right column is now rendered inaccessible and so I will not be able to put the English of paras 1- 3 into it so that they are adjacent to the Russian paras 1-3 in the left column of page 1.
Inserting a Page Break instead of a Section Break produces the same effect.
In conclusion, I am still stumped. To keep all the Russian in the left column of all 26 pages, I would need to insert a page break at the end of every page .... but then there would seem to be no way to insert the English into the corresponding right-hand columns, beginning of course on page 1. I am surprised that such a fundamentally useful word-processing facility is so complex (or perhaps impossible) in Pages.
Thanks, again, Peter. I have to say that you have been more helpful and informed than any others that have tussled with me over this difficulty.

How to add the rows formatted as table headings, Tables headings are repeated when a table spans more than one page.

Hi all,
i am facing problem while generating Test Result word document after successful execution of TestStand.
The Problem is :
i want to add rows Formatted as table headings, table headings are repeated when a table spans more than one page(marked as Red).
Example:
Page No. 1
|     Test case Number | Test Step number      |
|      100                         |            100                   |
Page No. 2
|     Test case Number | Test Step number      |
|      200                         |            300                   |
Test Result word document should generate with Table headings(marked as Red) in every pages of the document, but i am not getting as per above example.
Please through light on this.
Regards,
Susa.

Hi Santiago,
Thank you very much for your valuable reply.
i want to generate MS-word report for TestStand after successful testing using MS-word2000.
Test report contains Actual values, Expected values and Pass/Fail status.
In my program i have customized all fields i can able to generate test report which contains Verification engineer name , test mode, test date, start time, end time Actual values, Expected values and Pass/Fail status.etc....
To put all values of test case number, Test step number, Actual values, Expected values and Pass/Fail status in to table for each time, i will
insert a row into table every time values arrives, once the table exceedes its page size it moves to the next page, next page should start with table row header but it start with values of above said parameters.
so i'm not able to repeat table row header for each page.
Please find the attached file for your reference.
Attched file expected.doc :   This file contains what i wanted to generate MS-word report. Here table row header "Test Case Number and Test Step Number " is repeated in second page.
Attached file Actual output from source code.doc   : This report generated from the source code. Here table row header "Test Case Number and Test Step Number" is not repeated in second page.
Do you know any property to set "repeat as header row at the top of each page" using MS-word ActiveX in CVI/Labwindows.
i think this information is sufficient for you,
Still if you need some information please ask me.
Thanks
Susa.

CUPS - can't seem to print more than one page

How to assign a iview to more than one page at a same time

Hi Experts,
I have created 40 pages. I have to assign ivews to these pages. One of the iviews is common to all the pages. Going to each page and assigning the iview to that page will take alot of time. Is there a way in which i can add an iview to more than one page at the same time?
Thanks in advance,
Prisford Pereira.

Hi
You can do that using XML Content and Actions.
You can write XML in specified format and upload it to portal, that will automatically create the content for you in PCD. You can create iviews, pages, assign iviews to pages etc.
More details are available at the how to guide.

Text that spans more than one cell in a JTable

Hi all.
I have a JTable where I've altered the renderer so that it looks like I have columns that span more than one cell.
e.g.: http://i.imgur.com/RSGOh.png
From that image though you will notice that the text (which is based in a JLabel) is truncated.
I need this text to span the available cells so was wondering about the best way of doing it.
I could:
1) When I know that the text won't fit, don't draw anything at all with the renderer but make a note of it and then in the paintComponent method of the JTable, paint the text in the appropriate position once the rendering has been done.
2) Provide a custom renderer that draws as much of the text as possible up to the right edge, and then have an adjacent cell renderer paint the rest.
3) Use a different TableUI that when I know I need to span, uses a special renderer to stamp over the spanned cells...
4) other methods???
I was going to attempt choice 1) but thought I'd ask here first in case someone has had experience in this and knows the "correct" way to do it.
Is this the right way to go about it?
Thanks, Nick.

// Allow selection to span one contiguous set of rows, visible columns, or block of cells
table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
// Allow multiple selections of rows, visible columns, or cell blocks
table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);

Can I split a spreadsheet table over more than one page?

Is is possible to split a table so that data can be linked from page to page?
I would like to have a table with formulas on page 2 referencing data from another linked table on page 1 of a Pages document.
I know this used to be possible in Appleworks. In fact I have some old Appleworks docs like this, but when I try to open them in Pages they get scrambled. Any ideas anybody?

Thank you both for your help. It sounds as though the answer is "No, this can't be done"
Neither of the 2 options suggested quite fit the bill as my document is a text document report with embedded tables, which do need to refer to each other across more than one page, but still needs to be well laid out for printing and easy reading by others. It seems strange that something which was easy to achieve in Appleworks should be impossible in iWorks, since I thought this was meant to be the replacement program after Apple stopped developing Appleworks.

CS3: Table on more than one page - How can I get the UIDRef's of the pages?

Hi
Thanks for the answer.
- How can I get all page items of a table?
- One other question: If I have a table over two pages (side by side) there is only one page item of the table. Right? How can I get the two pages (UIDRef) in that case?

ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
Any ideas?

I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.

Why can't I paste more than one page at a time?

I have a problem with Pages when I try to paste more than one page worth of content at one time.
In my business I have a form online for clients to fill out. When the clients have finished the form, I copy the form (saved either as a safari document or as a pdf) and then try to paste what I have into Pages. It should flow to fill out four pages, but for some odd reason it only fill the first page of a Pages document, then it gives me a second blank (empty) page. So the document is two pages long, but only the first page has content.
I know the pasted information is hidden in the document, because if I were to cut (erase) a few lines of content, the pasted information would appear from the bottom of the page to fill the space I just made.
Why is Pages not making a four page document containing all my pasted information? Why isn't it flowing to fill out as many pages as it takes to show all the information?

You may perfectly "their typed information and move it around" in Numbers which behave as the AppleWorks Draw environment.
Here is the second page in the document which I posted before.
As you may see, the standard Word Processor features are at work:

Selection…
I exported my AppleWorks documents in Numbers ones.
And of course, with the Numbers document open, you may copy pieces of it and paste them in Pages's pages.
