big smile Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 In Affinity Publisher, you can have a text frame split across a spread (i.e. so there's a text frame on the left side page that is linked to the right side page). Is there any way to insert a table in the text frame, so it will be split across the spread. Or any other way to make a table split across a spread? I've got a table that won't fit on one page, so it needs to go across the two pages of the spread. But I don’t want to create two separate tables, because if I make changes on the first table, then the excess rows on the first page won't automatically transfer to the first. piovasco 1 Quote
MikeTO Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Publisher doesn't yet offer a feature to split tables across pages so you'll need to manage them separately. Tip: Keep the master copy of your table in a hidden layer or in a non-printing section and just keep copies of the split tables on each page. Make edits to the master table and copy it back to the pages as required. It's more work but less work than trying to keep multiple tables in sync. big smile, Old Bruce and sheri17 3 Quote Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.6 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.6 for macOS Sequoia 15.5, MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) and iPad Air (M2)
Mark Oehlschlager Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 @anto That's the best manual work-around solution I've seen. Thanks. Meanwhile, we need to bump the request for a new feature in Publisher that allows long tables to be threaded across multiple pages. sheri17 1 Quote
