How to make the row continue in the next page in Page 6.2?

Pages will not split a cell across pages.

You will need to cut the text and move it to the next cell.

Hi B,

Depends what you want to happen. As Peter says, Pages will not split a row and place some of that rows content on one page and the rest on another. But, as demonstrated above, Pages will split a table and place one (or more rows onto the next page. The document must be a Word Processing document, the table must be set to Move with Text.

In a Page Layout document, all text is contained in Text boxes, Shapes, or Tables. Tables are placed on the page, and are set to Stay on Page. If you place a table below the text on a page, and do not have enough space for the table, it will 'float' above the footer boxes and bottom margin space, but disappear 'under' the following page (if one has been added).

In the image above, the hidden bottom table edge is marked by the handles (small boxes) on the lower page.

You can manually split the bottom row from the rest of the table and place it on the second page, for an effect similar to the one posted previously, but the split will include only the bottom row—Pages will not add a copy of the Header row as it did with the Inline (Move with Text) version in my previous post.

To do so:

• Click on the row reference tab for the bottom row you want to move.
  The tab will change from white to dark blue, indicating it is selected.
• Click on the selected tab and hold until the row appears to lift from the page.
• Drag down until the row separates from the table and moves onto the next page.
• Drop the table onto the page.
• IF the row is now obscuring text on its new page:
  • Click on the text to select the text box containing it.
  • Click again and drag to place the box in a new position…
    OR
    Use the Shift and down arrow keys to move the box straight down to its new position.

Tested in Pages 5.6.2.

Hi b'

EDIT: The demonstration below is done using Pages 5.6.2 in El Capitan.

Peter's comment above indicates the situation has changes in Pages 6.

B.

Table format should be the default values.

Your document must be a Word Processing document (ie. Text can be entered directly on the page, and flows from one page to te next).

Set the table to Move with Text. The rest just happens.

Example 1: Moved by added text above the table: The Table was inserted between the second and third paragraph of this random text. Then, using Copy/Past, Paragraphs of text were moved from below the tale to above it, until the table was forced to extend below the bottom margin (note that there are several returns forcing some space between the paragraph end and the table—there because I neglected to remove them):

Example 2: Moved by additional text in a cell in the bottom row: Text outside the table was moved below it using cut and paste, and continuing until the table moved up to Page 1. Then some text was cut from the paragraphs below the table, and pasted into a bottom row cell of the table. When the table became taller than the available space, the bottom row jumped to Page 2:

Note that Numbers automatically repeats the Header row on the second page.

Barry,

It has been ever thus with Pages '06, '07, 08, '09, 5 and 6.

Cells will not split, if the text will not fit, the whole cell moves to the next page.
