Table panel won't flow over 2 pages

I am busy with a job that has a couple of long tables in it, the text in one panel excedes my page size, how do I get it to run on to the next page? All I have is the little red dot bottom right. CS5 Lion

This would indicate there is too much text in the cell. Look in Table menu, Cell Options, Rows and Columns, Row Height: Maximum. The default is 8⅓", and apparently that's not enough.
If this exceeds your page height, you have to manually split this super-cell into more rows.

Table row does not flow to next page

Hi,
I am using deep structure table in adobe form but the content is not flowing to next page.
I have wraped the table in subform, Body Page, subform and table all are flowed and allow page breaks with content is also ticked, still the table row does not flow to next page.
Regards,
Kimaya

Hi Kimaya,
Just drag the table directly on the body page and execute the form. This should take care of the properties required for data to flow on the form.
Thanks

Flowable form not flowing to second page - flowing to top of first page

The content on my Dynamic flowable form flows to the top of my initial, first page, instead of the second page.
I have created a form where the subforms are set to flowed, flow direction is either Top to Bottom or Western Text and the "Allow page breaks within content" boxes are checked. Nothing is set to positioned. In my Pagination tab, my Place is set to "Following Previous" and my After is set to "Continue Filling Parent." I have other forms which were created by other people before I got here that have similar functions, and I've gone in and checked them against this form, and I can't see any differences in the settings. I've created a 2nd master page, thinking the content didn't have anywhere to flow to and maybe that was the problem, but that doesn't help.
I've been playing lightly with Livecycle forms over the last few years and have never had content flow to the top of the same page instead of to a second page. Of course, this is my first time trying to create a form relatively from "scratch," so I'm sure I've done something wrong, but am not sure what. I've attached an imagine of what it looks like at the top of my page after I test to make things expand.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

On a flowable form, you don't have a page2 exactly. You keep putting everything on page1 and it automatically flows to the next page and the next page. Getting rid of an extra page requires looking in the hierarchy and delete everything on that page including the subform which you have to delete last. Sometimes it's really stubborn and I don't know enough about subforms to know why that is but maybe someone else will jump in to tell us both. You'll get a warning telling you that you are trying to delete the last subform on the page and just say ok.
Now, if you already have a page 2 and stuff on it, open a blank, control all, then control C and paste all that stuff onto the blank, then delete everything off page2 and then delete page2. Go to the blank and repeat the copy process for everything there and paste it onto page one. It should flow over several pages depending on how many objects you have. Then you can close the blank and get rid of it. It's just an object holder while you get your original documents extra pages deleted.
Like I said, I create a blank form, change the Page1 subform to "Flowed" and then save that as a LiveCycle template called "Flowable Layout" or something like that. Then I look at the form I need to make and decide if it needs to flow or not and use a static template for ones that don't and my flowable template for those that do. Knowing ahead of time that you'll need it to flow saves from laying out the form twice. So I just let it flow from top to bottom and set my pieces of layout into positioned subforms. Then it's also easy to show or hide the subforms as needed. I use alot of buttons (visible screen only) to show hidden subforms that aren't needed until someone selects that section. It's all just great fun......

In Pages, the column in the table won't flow onto the second page. The text is hidden. Please help!

In Pages, the column in the table won't flow onto the second page. The text is hidden. Please help!

Thank you for your reply,
When I click 'view' , I can "show inspector". From the table tab, I can pull up the "Format". [See below]. I don't see the "Arrange" or "Object Placement Move with Text"
Right now I have the Wrap Text On. When I take it off, It messes up my rows [see second image].
All I want is for my column to flow onto the second page.
Your assistance is genuinely appreciated.
Thank you again.

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 Extensions over a page..?

I am using a Table to create a report on students. I have preset the number of rows (15) and want the table to flow over pages as necessary.
This simple task is defeating me - a layout break is not offered - and I see no other way to do this.
Help, please..

Hi michael
Welcome to the forum.
The table needs to be Inline ie part of the main text body between the margins.
Click in the main text body:
+Menu > Insert > Table+ or click on the table icon on the toolbar.
Select the table, making sure it is all the table not a cell. Do this by clicking on an outer edge.
+Inspector > Table > Table > Body Rows > 15 > Body Columns > whatever+
You can just fill in the cells and it will grow as needed, or specify the cell sizes in the Inspector.

How to make text elements flow to next page depending on the table above it in main window (smart forms)

Hi all,
In my main window i have a table that contains line item data.
Just below that i need to display text elemet (some text and terms & conditions).
as below
Based on the items in table, it should flow to next page. But it is not happening. rather the data which do not fit into first page gets deleted.
Please help to solve this. Its urgent.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rashmi,
please drop these texts from your table footer (i hope you have put into footer of your table), just create a template after your table and put your all these data within this template and make sure that your this
template should be called after your tables data get displayed.
Or you can create a text , after your table where you put your data, and it should get displayed when the line items ends for your table.

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?

Thank you for your attention

Adobe has been trying this and the product is called Muse ( Web design software | Download free Adobe Muse CC trial ). It doesn't give you the control over the code that most developers prefer but it could help bridge the gap for design if that is what you are looking for.

Dyamic landscape table that flows into portrait page.

Hi,
I have a form that transitions from portrait, to landscape, and back to portrait. The landscape pages contain a dynamic table where users can click a button to add rows. I have applied the landscape master page to the landscape pages and the portrait master page to the following pages. The problem is that in the PDF preview, when the landscape table flows onto another page, it renders incorrectly because it is trying to use the portrait page. What do I need to do on the Pagination tab to make the table flow properly to another landscape page?
Thanks...Jenn

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately the pagination tab for the master page does not give me those options. It only gives me the page numbering options. I have applied the pagination option you suggested to the page where I have applied the landscape master page, however, it still flows into a portrait page. Any other suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks again...Jenn

Page caption text won't flow into multiple columns : LR4 book module

Hi,
I'm in process of creating a photobook using LR4's Book Module. Whenever I create a multiple columns page or photo caption, the text won't flow from the 1st column into the suceeding column... does this happen to anybody else. The multiple columns feature however does work for normal text placeholders.

Dorin,
You guess right but that's not very useful to me because sometimes I just want to have a few lines of text at the bottom or at the top of the photo but in 2 or 3 columns for easier reading. I can do that with text placeholders like the one below and the ability to do that with page or photo caption would be desirable too.

How do I break a large table over several pages?

I'm sure I used to be able to show a large table (more than one page long) over several pages. Now, when when the table grows to the bottom of the page the whole table is displayed on a new page. How do I get it to break so it shows partly on one page and partly on the next page?

Not sure how to add a comment to my own question...
I am working in Pages 5. I tried to break a table over more than one page in an existing document and just couldn't get it to work (still can't). I tried it in a new document and it worked, no problem. The only thing I can think of is that I had to export my original document to Word and then had to open it again in Pages. There must have been some corruption.
I'm happy again... only wish that I could live within the Mac world and not have to deal with the PC world. Sigh.

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5?

How do I get text to flow from one page to the next in Pages 5 with the Maverick system?

What may be overlooked in Pages v5 is the notion of combining Text Boxes via the Menu > View > Show Arrange Tools. When you select two Text Boxes, an extra panel unfolds at the bottom of the Arrange Tools window. Uncheck one Text Box and this panel abruptly disappears.
One can achieve text flow effects between Text Boxes differently based on how one positions the Text Box overlap, and choice of effect above. Though not the accustomed flow found in Pages ’09 v4.3, flow does occur. Consider the possibilities of combining a Shape and a Text box to cut an irregular Text box.
If I create two Text Boxes and position them side by side with outline touching and choose Unite, this creates one larger Text Box and text flows across and down. On the otherhand, if I overlap the upper left corner of a lower Text Box over one above and to the left, then choose Union, pasted text fills the first Text Box and then flows across and down into the other box. Here is a Union example:
Intersect will leave a small Text Box where the two overlap, so not much value there. Subtract will cut a chunk out of one Text Box that is the size of the overlapping piece of the second Text Box:
And Intersect will leave an island in the center where the two Text Box overlap, with flow jumping over this bridge.
Clearly, this is not what we were accustomed to in the past, but with imagination, style, and layout tuning, it does offer alternative Text Box creativity and layout. Of course, there is the option of simply returning to the previous Pages version for true Text Box linking that most will want to use.

Problem when inserting xml flow into jspx page

When I drag and drop the xml into the jspx I should get a pop up menu where I would choose region (Im following a tutorial) but I get nothing. I drag and drop and It just opens it in the design editor.
I would appreciate any help you guys could give

OK, let cover the basics first:
JDev version?
I assume you are on 11.1.1.2.0 or 11.1.1.3.0:
You created a new task flow (right click on the 'Web content'->new->'ADF Task FLow'
the check box 'Createas Bounden Task flow was set and the check box for 'Create with Page Fragments' was set
The filename was something like 'search-email-flow.xml'
This should create a new bounden task flow with the name of search-email-flow (which creates a xml file with the same name).
Then you put one view to the flow. After creating the page fragment (the file created should have the jsff file type) you saved all work.
The you open up an existing jspx file and drag the new flow from the 'Page Flows' folder under 'Web content' onto the design view of the jspx file.
after dropping the flow you should then see the 'Create' dialog. e careful, you can't drop the flow everywhere on the page. You should drop in into a panel group or some other container. If you drop it i.e. onto a table you see the effect you described: it's opening the flow!
