Can InDesing flow cell contents across pages?

I'm working in InDesign CS5 on a book project that contains a very long table (3 columns by 300+ rows over about 120 pages).  The cell contents is all text and the center columns' cells contain some very long passages (the left column contains dates and the right column is short source citations).  The table was originally created in Word Perfect -- I coverted it to an MS Word document, checked it and saved it, then imported it into ID using the Place command.  All goes along very smoothly until I get to a row where the text in the center cell is very long indeed -- too long to fit on less than one whole page, so ID forces it to the next whole page (see the screen shot below).  Problem is, this is intended to be a continuous table.  In MS Word, the text in the cell happily flows to the next page.  I need to do that in ID, but HOW?  Any advise is gratefully appreicated.  Thanks.  Kirk

ID will not break a cell across a column or page boundary. About the only thing I can think of to do waht you want would be to add a row to the table, then adjust the height of the tall row manually so the cell goes overset and cut the excess, then paste into the new row.

  • Flowing table rows across pages

    Is there a way that when using tables you can flow rows across pages automatically like you can in MS word?
    Thanks

    ID splits tables only between cells rows, not mid-row, but it will certainly split a table between frames.

  • Can iTunes share purchased content across Apple IDs within one household, OR

    QUESTION ONE
    Will iTunes share purchased content using TWOApple IDs, across different devices within one household?
    QUESTION TWO
    Should each device with a separate user have its own iCloud ID? CONCURRENTLY, should each device belonging to the SAME user use the SAME cloud ID?
    QUESTION THREE
    I think I "can" use one Apple ID, and just usedifferent iCloud IDs for EACH device. Am I fundamentally wrong? Am I legallywrong?
    UNDERSTOOD FACTS:
    1)  Apple states, each person should have their own AppleID:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 
    2)  iCloud servicesare: mail, contacts,calendar etc...
    3)  iTunes servicesare: music, videos, Apps, etc...
    You can sync iTunes across up to5 different computers using your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420, however there does not seem to be alimit of how many Apple devices youcan sync within using a single iTunes account (Apple ID). *NOTE: beware automaticsynchronization of new apps..
    4)  iTunesin the Cloud is a different animal altogether! This should allow sharing of all iTunes content across all “your” devices, aslong as it was purchased thru iTunes (If not, you need to shell out an additional $25/yr for iTunes Match)
    SCENARIO:  I got a new iPhone, and am giving theold iPhone to my spouse. ALL iTunes content has been managed and purchased using oneApple ID that matches one iCloud ID. Ideally, just like anyother family using multiple Apple products and usingiCloud; we would like to SHARE songs & Apps, but NOT share calendars, mail etc...(sharing contacts would be nice).
    QUESTION FOUR
    Under the above scenario, must I have a “.me email” account?
    I have been reading threadsabout managing content across multiple devices, using different IDs, both AppleIDs and Cloud IDs, and there is a LOT of confusion. I'm visual, so I've attached the graphic illustrating how I "think" I should proceed.  **I have not set up the new iPhone yet.
    We do not have a Mac or a".me email" account, and we use Gmail.
    Any help is appreciated!

    I have the computer authorized to use the Apple ID content (been using iTunes since 2007).
    My issue is I cannot create sperate iCloud IDs for each device. I get prompted/directed to create a new Apple ID, which is what I want to avoid. I want to use one "FAMILY" AppleID as it is, and use iCloud IDs for each device.
    My logic is: ALL my purchases are tied to an AppleID, and I just want to share on devices that leave the house, like another iPhone.
    So- what to do? How to get a seperate iCloud ID without a seperate AppleID? I have an iPhone & iPad, husband has an iTouch & iPhone. How to share selectively? All devices were originally setup using one Cloud ID and one Apple ID. Now I need new IDs to represent the new user on the iTouch & iPhone.

  • I can't see the content of pages, just those with video on them

    I have instaled the latest version of mozilla firefox version 33.stub from the official website.
    When I open the browser i can see only the top bar(blue collored where I can see the name of the page I access), then downward is a transparent 3 cm zone and after that everything is black.
    If i go and click where my bookmarks suposed to be, it apears like the page is loading because i see it's name on the blue bar and if the website has a video part, that one works perfectly but the rest of the page is black.
    What do I have to do to make it work? Maybe it's just some aditional software that I have to Install.
    I have a Samsung NP300E5Z-S01RO Laptop with 4 Gb RAM and Intel core i3 proccesor.
    I now use the version 11.0 to send you this troubleshooting information

    hello ovidelu2006, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • UITableView can´t reload cell contents

    Hi,
    I´m trying to reload the table view using [tableView reloadData]; and it works fine, the table view reloads its data. The problema is that the cell contents don´t change.
    When I create the cells at cellForRowAtIndexPath, I use:
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
    if(cell == nil){
    cell = [self reuseTableViewCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
    When I reload the data, the cells keep the same identifier, but it shouldn´t. Is there anyway to complete clear all the references between the cells and its identifiers and then reload the table view?
    Thanks,
    Pitteri

    Hi, the identifier is not ment to identify a single cell but a specific type of cell. Each cell of the same type should have the same identifier. So even a cell is reused, you still have to set it's content to be displayed correctly.
    It's absolute correct that the identifier stays the same on reload.

  • Autofit column width to table cell content in Pages

    Hello,
    Would anyone know how to autofit the column width of a table cell in Pages '09?
    I have searched Pages Help to no avail.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    There is a checkbox in the table inspector to auto-resize to fit content. Unfortunately, that only seems to work with rows, not columns.

  • Can you protect cell contents?  Say, if I have this great formula I don't want changed.

    I have multiple spreadsheets that I use formulas in.  MOST of them were created in Excel, and I"m migrating over.
    In Excel, I could lock a cell from being changed.  Can the same thing be accomplished in Numbers?
    Thanks!

    No guarantee because happily, the list of feature is defined by Apple, not by us. In the other case, the result is the awful gas factory named Excel.

  • Table of contents and the order of multiple text frames flowing across pages

    I have a multi-page document,
    on each page, there are 2 text frames:
    - A text frame for containing a PAGE TITLE
    and
    - A text frame, flowing from one page to another containing: a MAIN TITLE, a SECTION TITLE, and flowing body copy (on page 1); and another MAIN TITLE, a SECTION TITLE, and flowing body copy; (on page 2)
    When I generate a TOC, using the Page, Main and Section Titles styles, the expected outcome would be:
    Page Title             1
       Main Title           1
    Section Title          1
    Page Title             2
       Main Title           2
    Section Title          2
    But because the Main title and Section titles are all within one flowing text frame and the content flows across multiple pages, and each of the Page Titles are within 2 separate text frames, the actual TOC generated is:
    Page Title             1
       Main Title          1
    Section Title         1
       Main Title           2
    Section Title          2
    Page Title             2
    ...where the TOC lists all the TOC items from the flowing text frame in one grouping first, then the individual free standing text frame title.
    QUESTION: Is the only way to automatically rectify this is to combine all the text into one flowing text frame? or is there another workaround?
    Have played with the left/right, top/bottom alignment of the individual text frames; also experimented with the object layering, to no avail..
    Thanks for any insights.

    I ended up using a product called InFlow from EmSoftware.  The solution offers a plugin to InDesign that builds pages on the fly when there is overset text.  The setup is pretty minimual and it seems easy to use.  The only drawback that the plugin MAY have is that it does not remove the pages it built if the pages are not needed from record to record.  I could not test this myself since my test data did not test more then one record, but when I turned my proof set off, the pages that were built were still on screen.  It does seem to work well for what we are looking to do, so if anyone is looking for something that will build pages on the fly in situations where the "Dynamic Story Handling" is not available, I would suggest looking into this.

    Sirrick,
    If I understand your question correctly, you want to programmatically set how many array elements (clusters) to show. You can do this with the Array properties: Number of Rows and Number of Columns. Please see the attached VI.

    How should I tag content created in a master page when addressing accessibility before exporting to Acrobat?  I can't add the content to the articles panel because it's locked.  I would also like to know how I should tag my cove content.  I don't want the reader to get lost in content other than the body of the report, but I also don't want to ignore some content completely by tagging it as artifacts.  What should I do y'all?

    Hi Rob,
    From the screen shots it looks like your script is not formatted properly (you may refer to 'Paladin Script' in 'Sample Project' to get an idea of how the script should be formatted.).
    Further please follow the steps mentioned below to use Story to PP workflow.
    Create a new Film script in Adobe Story
    Create  scene heading – INT. LOCATION – Day (these will show up in the outline view panel on left hand side)
    Hit enter, hit TAB
    Enter the name of the speaker, hit TAB or ENTER
    Copy over the transcribed text
    Build your script this way
    Number scenes from the production menu
    Export ASTX file for your script : File->Export->.astx
    Open Premiere Pro
    Create a new project, bring in media
    In the project pane, find the "Scene" column
    For the clip that contains the spoken text, assign the same scene number to the clip as you have in the story script (lets say both are scene 1)
    Click out of the scene box in the project panel in Ppro
    Right click on the scene that you just assigned a scene number to and select – attach Story script
    Select the .astx fle you exported in step 8
    Click ok
    You should now see the script data in the metadata panel for the clip in the metadata panel.
    You can now run speech to text based on "Embedded Script metadata" to time align spoken word to the script.
    Let us know if this is helpful.
    Thanks

  • Table of contents in Pages - can't get it to work

    Tried creating a Table of Contents in pages
    Marked my headlines, changed them into title, heading and subheading.
    When everything needed was changed into proper format, I wanted to insert the table of contents from the menu. I get the error message, that no text is formatted in the correct way and therefore my table of contents can't be created.
    I previously used MS Office - and creating a table of contents works in the same way. I have read the users guide for Pages, trying to figure out what I've done wrong - but it didn't work out.
    If anybody could solve this peace of mystery I'll be very thankful
    Maria

    Hi Terry,
    you helped Maria so well. Maybe you can help me aswell ... I just started using Pages (trial version) and have used MS Office before that. I want to create a TOC based on styles that are numbered as follows: 1. heading 1
    1.1. heading 2
    1.1.1. heading 3
    1.1.1.1. heading 4 asf.
    If I create a numbered style it will only have 1. and no further level (is that the right word? I'm German, sorry!). If I create a style from a numbered list (where it is possible to have different levels) I can create a TOC but have to format that completely aswell (the TOC doesn't have the format of the headings, in particular the numbers are gone and also the format). In MS Word it seems to be much easier. Here I create a style (heading 1, 2, 3, etc.) and can asign numbers and levels to the headings. The TOC shows the exact same format as the headings in the document. How can this be achieved in Pages? Apple should actually do better then MS, shouldn't it?!

  • I can't print Multiple pages in FF6 – clipping off content after page 1. I have thrown out firefox completely off my imac and re-installed... still does not print correctly. How do I fix this?

    After upgrading last week, i can no longer print multiple page print outs off of any website, without the secondary pages clipping off content. Page 1 prints fine... the remaining pages do not.
    pages print fine in both safari and chrome...

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • How can I flow text alternate pages

    I want to typeset two documents of 100 pages each in such a way that they appear on opposite facing pages of a book.
    In other words, document one will appear on pages 1.3.5.7.9 etc, flowing through to page 199 and document two will start on page 2 and flow to pages 4,6,8,10 etc to page 200.
    Also, the page numbers must show and be consecutive from 1 to 200.
    I don't think indesign can handle this.
    Do any of you know better?
    Wojtczak

    Here are a couple of screen captures that should help:
    Select your master spread (double-click it's name in the panel). Use the Type tool to draw two text frames that fill your margin guides, which should be set to the size of the text blocks you want to have in your document. I've marked the in and out ports on the left frame in the screen shot. Note that at the moment they are empty sqaures. When text is threaded from frame to frame, at least one port in each frame in the thread will have a small blue triangle inside it. As long as you are not in Preview mode, or Overprint Preview, which hide non-printing elements, you can see the threading path by going to View > Show Text Threads.
    InDesign puts odd-numbered pages on the right and evens on the left, by default, and you will probably not want to play tricks to change this. You probably also want both of your parallel threads to begin on the same spread, so you'll need to start with at least three pages, and begin the text flow on pages 2 and 3 (or some later spread if you have a lot of front matter to include). To add pages drag the master icon for the page into the lower half of the Pages panel or use the panel menu to issue an Insert Pages command.
    This is the pages 2 & 3 spread. Becasue the master text frames are the same size as the margin guides you don't see them, but they are there waiting for text. File > Place... and find the first text file you want to place. Your cursor will show what looks like the upper left corner of a page. Hold the Shift Key and the cursor will change to have a squiggly arrow which indicates that you will be auto-flowing text, creating new pages autoimatically untill the entire stroy is on a page. Don't click yet.
    Still holding down the shift key, move the cursor anywhere inside the margin area, WELL AWAY FROM ANY GUIDES. If you click on a guide accidentally the master frame will not be used. As you move over the empty master frame the curso will change again to have large parentheses surrounding it. When you see that is is safe, while still hoding down the shift key, to click and release. DO NOT DRAG the cursor, just click and release. You should now have a bunch of new pages, with text only on the left side. Go back to Page 3 and repeat for the second story.
