I had 8 books with a lot of huge cells. Thank you Adobe for not realising this feature that is available in MS Word by decades.

Hi Adobe team,

please work on this feature that would save thousands of hours.
That's really long and not secured to split cells among columns and pages if it's too long.
I hope there's enough votes for a feature requested 2 years ago.

All the best

PLEASE. Pleading with you to add this.

InDesign developers, wake up! Didn't you hear the call?

What the heck is "soon"? It's been another year+. Can't you make this a PRIORITY, please? This causes me endless grief and time -- and MS Word has had this feature forever. I'm disgusted that this can't be implemented in my lifetime, apparantly. :-(

thanks

VD, no it is not. Adobe don't give any comments when it will be available.

Has this happened yet?

Hello
Please support

No, Dax isn't an Adobe employee, but he is extremely knowledgeable about both InDesign and accessibility.

He is correct, that allowing rows to split is disastrous to those who use various accessibility software (AT) when using computers.

Accessibility affects about 1/3 of the world's population, not a "small subset" of use cases and affects people with vision, mobility, cognitive, and reading disabilities. It affects a LOT of people.

But the solution is real easy: Adobe just needs to give InDesigners the option to allow row splitting or not with a checkbox option in the table's controls. MS Word has does this for eons.

I think Dax Castro is an Adobe employee who's do this feature and try to find a way to not do)))
Hey, Adobe! Why took you so long?

@Janus Bahs Jacquet

I totally agree!!

@Dax Castro:

Hard disagree. InDesign is used for a lot more than just accessibility-optimised PDFs, and to deprive all users of vital features because they’re incompatible with a small subset of use cases is madness. Crucially, printed material does not need to comply with PDF/UA or WCAG 2.0/2.1, and printed material is – generally speaking – where this feature is needed the most. Tables are indeed for data, and there is absolutely NOTHING about the term ‘data’ that suggests it must visually fit neatly within the margins of a given page. Hacking your way around the problem by creating individual text frames and whatnots to mimic the look and functionality of a table is NOT “learning how to use the program properly”, but an ugly hack.

A popup such as you suggest would be a good idea, but it should appear when – and only IF – you export your document to a format that indicates adherence to accessibility standards. Anything else would be a UX nightmare no lesser than the accessibility.

Any update?

Please do NOT add this feature. This creates an Accessibility NIGHTMARE! Accessible documents should NEVER allow rows to split across pages. This is a layout no-no. If you care about accessibility, do not do this. Tables are for data. Learn how to use the program properly to get the same results you need without using tables. This will create the ability for violations of PDF/UA and WCAG 2.0/2.1 - IF you do implement this, please include a pop up window that says "Splitting rows across pages can create problems for people who need to comply with accessibility standards or for those using screen readers."

How are we doing?

Ждем почти год! Пожалуйста, сделайте уже что-нибудь!

this has been the bane of my existence when doing corporate documents. please add this feature ASAP
