large amount of text in a table

Post by avivmo »

I have to put a large amount of text in a table. However, actually, I can see only the text that enters in one page. The rest of the text disappears. Is there any solution for that?

Currently Nisus Writer limits the height of a single row to fit within a single page. That means non-spanning cells cannot grow to be taller than a single page.

However, you can create a table cell which spans multiple table rows. These multi-row cells spread their content between pages, see this example file:

I can confirm that works, the only issue I have being that if, say, you have three vertical cells merged, with one at the bottom of the first page and the other two at the top of the second, if you have a small amount of text that should be centred within the merged cell, it only appears in the top cell, the one at the bottom of the first page.
