How can we improve InDesign?

Option to split table rows across pages

Lord please, if you're up there, answer our INDD prayers and make this a feature. A LOT of tables have rows with more content than can be held in a single page or bottom of a page. It's impossible to layout a continuous book or brochure if I can't get the table text to split - it doesn't have to be the default, but give me the option - please, please. WORD does this, be better than Word!!

    Feature request with most votes on UserVoice.
    Adobe: We startet working on it, a year after posting it.
    Also Adobe: 5 Years later. No update.
    That's why we pay 60 Dollars a month.
    BUT I mean we can finally use horribly AI-generated content in Photoshop. Isn't that great.

    Don't know if anyone answered this yet, but I have found (and it's not foolproof, by any means) that if you select the row you want to break and go under Table>Cell Options>Rows and Columns and on Start Row pulldown, select "On Next Page". That will send that row and everything that follows it to the next page.

    Any update. This feature is desperately needed. Adobe are you listening?

    5 years and no solution? What up adobe!??

    Will you comment on why this has not been programmed?

    Even Microsoft Word can split a table row.

  • Amy R commented  ·   ·  Report

    Any update on when this will be completed?

  • Joe Santa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree with everyone here - please find a way to make this work. And also find a way to make Auto Styles work in tables!!

    Why is it still in the backlog, despite being so simple, and so requested? Have you forgotten this feature or something? Or are more amazing sounding features with "AI" in the name higher priority because it drives interest?

    20 years no solution...

    Still not done? Wasting time working around this issue for years...

  • Tim Sheasby commented  ·   ·  Report

    Adobe is too keen on adding new features without fixing thing real world users actually want and need.

  • Norma Kass commented  ·   ·  Report

    Last response was 2019 ... "started" working on it? Is there any progress??

  • Norma Kass commented  ·   ·  Report

    Asking again ... when will Adobe pay attention? Please don't make me use a 3rd party script???

  • Norma Kass commented  ·   ·  Report

    What is "soon" for this ... Its a popular topic and desperately needed. I would even beta test for it.

    How many years that TOP-1 request will be ignored more?
