Break tables across frames

Use Keep options to determine how many rows should remain together, or to specify where a row breaks, such as at the top of a column or frame.

When you create a table that is taller than the frame in which it resides, the frame is overset. If you thread the frame to another frame, the table continues in that frame. Rows move into threaded frames one at a time—you can’t break a single row across multiple frames. Specify header or footer rows to repeat information in the new frame.

  1. Position the insertion point in the appropriate row, or select a range of cells in the rows you want to keep together.
  2. Choose Table > Cell Options > Rows And Columns.
  3. To keep the selected rows together, select Keep With Next Row.
  4. To cause the row to break in a specified location, select an option (such as In Next Frame) from the Start Row menu, and then click OK.
If you create a single table that spans both pages of a spread, you may want to add a blank column in the middle of the table to create inset margins.
