10.1

There are two ways to continue tables:
• Anchoring the table in a text box. This is the preferred way to break a table in most
situations, because it is easiest to use
• Breaking the table manually. This method is necessary when you break a table horizontally
(for example, if you want to put the first five columns of a table on one page and the
remaining three columns on a different page).
When tables are continued, you may still need a legend to explain what's in the table. You
can add a legend in the form of automatically created and synchronized header and footer
rows, and you can create special "continued" table headers for portions of a table after the
first.
Anchoring tables in text
One way to continue a table in another location is to anchor the table in a text box. An
anchored table flows with the text like any other anchored object, but it also breaks
automatically if it is too long to fit in the box and it is the only thing in the paragraph
that contains it.
To anchor a table in text:
1
Create the table.
2
Select the table with the Item tool .
3
Choose Edit > Cut.
4
Select the Text Content tool and place the text insertion point where you want the
table to be.
5
Choose Edit > Paste.
At this point, the table will break automatically as it flows through the text. However, it
will not have a header unless you add it. For more information, see "Adding header and
footer rows to tables."
Breaking a table manually
One way to continue a table in another location is to specify a table break. The table break
is the maximum size the table can reach before it splits into two linked tables. In continued
tables, any changes to a table, such as inserted columns, are reflected throughout the table.
To manually create a continued instance of a table:
1
Choose Table > Table Break to display the Table Break Properties dialog box.
