Printing Sheets? How do you split cells?

Hello

I'm trying to print a sheet which is about 10 pages long.

The cells are filled with large amounts of text and i'm trying to figure out how to print the cells so they continue from page to page by splitting them in their print format rather than having half an empty page and starting a fresh cell on the next page?

Does this make sense and if so, can anyone help?

Thanks

Sib,

Yes, it makes sense, but if that's what you want, putting your content in a table will prevent you from doing that automatically. You can always manually break up the content of a large cell into two smaller cells.

The Numbers designers consider a cell to be indivisible, if it doesn't fit on one page, it moves to the next. We can't change that at the user interface level.

There is a simple workaround : split your huge pieces of text by yourself.
If you want, I may write a script doing that.
