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!!

    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."

    I just installed InDesign 2020, and still no implementation. How long can it take?!? I have constant requests to set side-by-side parallel translations, and it is a horrible pain to make that work in the current InDesign -- please step it up and get this feature to us ASAP!!

    Any update? This causes me serious headaches at times when I have to time-consumingly split row content manually!

    Yep, and what about being able to set row heights/columns widths in a table style??

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please, this will be an extremely helpful feature. I have wasted hours of time when working on complicated books with lots of table. Much looking forward to this. Thank you!
