Overset cells
In InCopy, a graphic may appear in a table if the graphic was added in InDesign. In most cases, a table cell will expand
vertically to accommodate new text and graphics being added. However, if you set a fixed row height and add text or
graphics that are too large for the cell, a small red dot appears in the lower right corner of the cell, indicating that the
cell is overset.
You cannot flow overset text into another cell. Instead, edit or resize the contents, or expand the cell or the text frame
in which the table appears.
In the case of inline graphics or text with fixed leading, it is possible for the cell contents to extend beyond cell edges.
You can select the Clip Contents to Cell options, so that any text or inline graphics that otherwise extend beyond any
cell edge are clipped to the cell boundary. However, when inline graphics are overset to extend beyond cell bottom
edges (Horizontal) this does not apply.
