Table split across pages

Is it possible to setup Indesign to automatically split table across frames like Microsoft Word do across pages?

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

Can a table cell be split across pages?

If I have a table, several rows, and one of the cells is longer than a page, can it be split between pages? I have not yet found a way to do it. Surely, it can be done.

You have CS5? Make your page size twice the height for that page, then cut page in Acrobat later.
You would also have to add a manual page number to the 'second' page and restart page numbering...
Not pretty, but it may suit your needs...

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?

Avoid Row Splits across Pages

Hi,
In the report I'm working on - I've several groups. Each row in this group is reported as a table w/ 4 rows.
Question: How can I avoid row splits of this table across pages. Pls advice.
Thanks.

This method does work. I use it all of the time. What versions are you using (XML Publisher, MS Word e.t.c.). Are you sure you are saving the new version of the template? It should not get reset in the way you are saying.
Cheers,
Dave

Table breaking across pages

I have a table that flows to 4 pages through threaded frames. Is the only way to make the table different lengths on each page is to adjust the frame height? Or can you insert multiple break characters throughout the table to have it break where you want it?
Thanks,
Phil

Why not use a hard row break? It's the Table equivalent of page breaks. You can also set Keep with Next Row, and let these handle unwanted breaks.

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 to keep together Title + table's line across pages

Hi all, I have a question.
I'm trying to create a .rtf template where I have a table with 4 lines and a title <PROJ_NAME>
I need to repeat this table (with all the necessary information - 4 lines) as many times as the projects' names are stored on the DB.
For example: if the employee has 4 projects, on the report I will see 4 times these table and the relative project name as title.
So, the repeating group mechanism works perfectly, but I am not able to control how the table's lines are splitted across pages....
In other words if I have two pages in my .rtf template and I am at the end of the first page:
1) I don't want to see the title on the bottom of the first page and the relative table above on the second page (title and table splitted on two differents pages)
2) I don't want to see the title and a portion of the table on the bottom of the first page and the rest of the table (1,2 or 3 lines) above on the second page (table splitted on two differents pages)
At the end I'd like to see always title and table together even if the page finishes. If the title + table exced the table's vertical border, it has not be splitted, but rewrite entirely (title + table) on the next page.
The syntax is this:
<?for-each-group:G_PROJ;./PROJ_NAME?><?PROJ_NAME?>
TABLE WITH 4 LINES
<?end for-each-group?>Page break
I tried also, reading the forum, to use the paragraph properties (Keep lines together), but nothing.....
Anyone can suggest me something ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

After the for loop,
take a table (suppose A) with one row and one column. In that table insert the Project name tag. Below that tag, insert an inner table(suppose B) in table A with 4 rows and columns you wish. Now select the outer table A(select the whole table), and in the table properties/Row , in the options , uncheck the 'Allow row to break across pages' property.
end the for loop.

Subforms across page breaks

In LiveCycle, how do you keep subforms from being split across page breaks? I'm working an a form in which several subforms can be added or deleted. If I add enough of any of them, when they get to the bottom of the page, instead of getting a new page the subform splits between the pages.
Here's a basic hierarchy of the form (excluding master pages, content areas etc.)
MainForm
     PageA
          SubformA
          SubformB
          SubformC
     PageB
          SubformA
          SubformB
          SubformC
     PageC
          SubformA
          SubformB
          SubformC
The subforms that can be added/deleted are SubformA, SubformB, SubformC on each page.
The idea is to have PageA, PageB and PageC always start at the top of the page, and when enough of any of the Subforms are added, the Subform which would be split at the bottom of the page goes to the top of the new next page.   So if I add enough of PageA, SubformA to overflow the page, the last instance of PageA, SubformC goes to the top of a new page, and PageB goes to the top of the following page.

Never mind everybody, I figured out what I did wrong.
The size of the content area on the master page must be the size of the form minus the space allowed for page headings.
For example, let’s say that you have a form which is 8” wide by 11” long. On your master page, there is a 1.5” heading which will print on each page across the top of the page.    The content area should be 8” wide by 9.5” long.
I made the mistake of having the content area 8” wide and 11” long, thinking it should be the same as the form size and that the heading on the master page was included in that 11 -inch-length.   Wrong.
When I pressed an add button to add a subform enough times so that the subform would overflow the page, instead of appearing on the top of the next page like I anticipated, the subform appeared to hide underneath the page break and the header of the next page. That's because the content area wasn't filled yet. It still had another 1.5" to go. I had to press the add button twice to get a subform to appear on the next page. In the meantime, the new subforms continued to appear to slide under and hide underneath the page break and next page header.

Trying to split a table (so I can format across pages)

Hi, I'm fairly new to a Mac and to using Pages 09 (I picked a great time to change systems when writing up something important!)
How do I get a Table to split (as you can easily with MS Word) so that I can easily format my tables and text across multiple pages? At the moment I either have the title of a cell and then the text linked to it split across two pages - which looks silly - or I have to insert returns into the cell above it so the heading of a cell and it's contents both appear on the next page - but which then also makes the previous cell look silly with so much empty space.
I can find all the options for splitting cells into more rows or columns but not an option to just split a table. Am I missing something or have Apple missed something?

You missed nothing and Apple missed nothing too.
The engineers are free to make the choices which they think beeing the best ones.
It's really easy to achieve your goal.
Activate the mode "Preview"
The slider which is at the bottom of the window allow us to adjust the table width so that it fits in the page.
In the Table inspector, we may adjust the rows height so that the wanted number of them appear in a single page without the holes generated by empty rows insertion.
Oops, I wrote my response for Numbers, not Pages.
but what I wrote may be done in Pages too.
For the width, we have no slider but we may adjust it thru the Inspector of Measures.
For the number of rows same scheme in Pages and Numbers.
Jean-Marie … was inserted in the table to illustrate a script which may easily remove unwanted rows and, from my point of view, this one was unwanted

Do nested tables conflict with ?split-by-page-break:? -getting blank pages

I have an RTF template with multiple levels of groupingwith sub-totals and pagebreaks at several levels. I'm using nested tables to keep the lowest level group together. The nested table works fine as far as keeping the rows together - if a group doesn't fit on a page, it is pushed to the next page; however, it has created some blank pages in the report. The first time I report the lowest level group details, if they don't fit on one page, I get a blank page followed by the data. Each time the lowest level group changes, this may or may not occur depending on the amount of data.
If you have come across this before or have some suggestions, I would really appreciate a response. I've been working on this for quite some time and have run out of things to try.
The template is quite complex and the XML very long, so I won't post. However I can email them to you if you'd like to take a look.
Thank you for your help,
Tam

Thanks for replying.
Yes, I tried removing the <?split-by-page-break:?> and using MS hard page break (ctrl-enter) and that doesn't work either. My totals moved to a separate page by themselves and I'm still getting the blank pages.
<?split-by-page-break:?> did exactly what it was supposed to until I added in the nested tables. It's very possible that I did something wrong with my nested tables (only my second XML report). Does anyone have a sample with nested tables that they would be willing to share?

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.

Report Header split across two pages in preview

Hi there,
I've got a full page of A4 text as my report header which works fine in the Design view. However, in preview it splits across two pages leaving about a quarter at the bottom of the first page blank. The text should easily fit on one side of A4 - any ideas why it's being split?
Thanks

Hi
Ideally if you have inserted a cross tab on the report header, then it might split into more than one page.
Please ensure that you have not put a cross tab on the report header. You can also switch to Landscape and check if it fits the report header in one page.
Hope it helps.

How do I get a table in Pages to extend across pages?

Every time I create a table in Pages, it's fine until it needs to continue to the next page. The table does not go to the next page it just disappears. Help!

Cells will not split in Pages.
You should be able to organise your layout without using tables, not that tables are bad pre se, just that they are not an option here.
If this is important to you, try LibreOffice [free].

Haw to create dynamic PDF with dynamic flowing tables across pages?

Hi!
Sorry for my english, I use it very rarely
I try creating PDF form with many tables (example document: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxTpZtaOkLBbcEJzdGJFcXVSWDJ0RlladUZJd1hMZw). But, when the table or any element hit the bottom of page, they just flow over it. Also in designer elements don't distribute across pages but just disappear on first page bottom. I want to dynamically distribute elements across pages. What I do incorrect?

Break table row across multiple frames?

Hi
I would know wether is possible to split a single table row across serverla frames/pages.
I´m using InDesign CS5 and when I try to import a big table from word documments (by using de app or by scripting), if a row is bigger than the textFrame, a blank page is generated with the overflow simbol.
The only way to see that table is by enlarging the textFrame.
I´ve been reading about this problem, and some news in 2004 reported it was a problem wich will be solved in next releases.
Is there any way to work arround?
One option is to split de row in several small rows, but I think the proper solution would be to let the row jump to the next TextFrame (just like word does)
Thanks in advance

I can show you a real example.
http://www.xunta.es/dog/Publicados/2011/20110615/AnuncioC3F1-140611-3147_gl.pdf
In page 14984 the row with the text "Coruña" span across two pages. Well, in this example, what we did was to convert the table in images. Then the images were put inside each page in InDesign.
This cell is too big to fit in a frameText and it was shown as empty.
Other option would be to split the row before the imporation. In this way, InDesign would, automatically jump to the next page.
The question was if there was any configuration option to implement all this solutions (change the table or convert it to text) without change the table structure.
Any way, thansk again.
