Table text disappearing

[sobi]

Text from a table does not flow on to the next page but disappears under on the first page it appears. pages seem to be connected.

Sobi, have you found out what the problem was yet? I'd be interested in knowing.

If you haven't, here are a couple of things to check:
1. Have you, by any chance, placed the text inside an anchored frame in the table cell? This will cause the effect you describe, because frames cannot break. You would even get this effect if you had drawn a text frame in the table cell and then put text in it.

2. You say the frames on the two pages are connected, but do they have Autoconnect on? To check, select the base text frame on the page. Get Properties on it (the easiest way is from the mouse context menu) and make sure there's a checkmark in the Autoconnect box. If by any chance there's not, you'll probably want to correct it on the master page, not just the body page.

If you have the table inside of a graphic frame (anchored or not), the table may not be able to flow to consecutive pages. Make certain the table is inside of a Flow (Flow A, for example--look at the bottom left of the FrameMaker window) in a connected text frame--connected to the following pages.

Thanks for the help, I think we have it.

Now, another question,

We have a Word file and in it it has superscript text but when we bring into FrameMaker the superscript disappears. Is there any way of keeping the superscript?
