Tables and Reflow 1

[uzapuca]

Hi guys,

I made a long table just from the scracht. The table has a header and it was reflowing just great. Now i need to ajust it to the design and somehow don´t know is not reflowing right. It will only reflow from a particular number of columns, usually quite long.

I can't figure out what the question is or what the problem is?

The table does not flow. There is a middle cell which is merged and ID will not let me split the table with a merged cell.

You'll have to be clearer. Why not highlight the problem area with red mark on the image that's causing the problem. I'd like to help you but you'll have to explain it much better.

What are you trying to do. Why can't you do it. And post images with red marks on them to what the problem is.

I have a long table which supposed to reflow over pages. The problem is that the second column has a merged column and InDesign will not let me break the table by any means. As you can see in the image the table is escaping from the page margins.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Thanks again and cheers,
Sebastian

I'm sorry I'm still not getting it?

Do you want the last rows of the table on the left to be under the headings on the right?

Or should the headings on the right hand page not be there at all?

No problem Eugene, i figure it out a way...I just unmerged the cells and the table started to flow OK again.

I just wanted a table to fit within the page margins...if the cells are merged InDesign will flow or break right ONLY when there is no merged cell. That not always fit the design. I dunno if i explain it right or not.

Thank for trying to help.

Cheers,
S
