Can't scroll within a table box on pages.

As the title says I can't scroll within a table box on pages. So I have a large box with a lot of text in it and I can't see the bottom half of the text or scroll to see it. How do I change this. I would prefer the box just gets bigger to fit the text.

Table cells in Pages do not offer scroll bars for a large cell of text. LibreOffice Writer, which is a Word clone does not offer scollable table cells either. Pages will not split a large cell containing text on a page boundary as would Writer, or MS Word.


You should reconsider using a table for this purpose in Pages, or perhaps using Pages in lieu of another word processing application.
