Publisher: Have a table split across a spread's text frames?

[big smile]

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.

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.

I got it wrong. Here's how to do it.

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.
