Fitting of a Single Table in Multiple Pages

[revathiv80720177]

Hi all,

In InDesign,if we try to flow a table having more number of rows,it will be fitting in one page with a “+” red sign at the bottom of the table.Is it possible to fit these table in next pages/column  without the "+" sign using script.

Please do guide me.

Thanks and Regards,

You can try automatic resizing option but I can't remember how that behaves with tables. However in your case, not only that shouldn't overflow but it should need to be reloated/reflowed onto the page.

You may want to work with columns or threaded texts. But I would certainly consider a plugin as EasyCatalog for those kind of work.

Hi ,

I was able to flow the overset  frame using this script:

while (myFrames[0].overflows === true) {
  var myNewPage = myDoc.pages.add();
  var myMargin = myNewPage.marginPreferences;
  var myBounds = [myMargin.top, myMargin.left, myDoc.documentPreferences.pageHeight - myMargin.bottom, myDoc.documentPreferences.pageWidth - myMargin.right];
  var myOldRuler = myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
  myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;
  with(myDoc.pages[-1].textFrames.add()) {
  geometricBounds = myBounds;
  previousTextFrame = myDoc.pages[-2].textFrames[0];
  }
  myDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = myOldRuler;

  }

But I was  able to apply this only for the last text frame in a document.How shall I apply it for all the overset frame in document.Please do guide me.

Thanks and Regards,
