Note that changing the spacing before the table does not affect the spacing of a table row that falls at the top of a
frame.
Break tables across frames
Use Keep options to determine how many rows should remain together, or to specify where a row breaks, such as at
the top of a column or frame.
Whenyoucreateatablethatistallerthantheframeinwhichitresides,theframeisoverset. If you thread the frame
to another frame, the table continues in that frame. Rows move into threaded frames one at a time—you can’t break
a single row across multiple frames. Specify header or footer rows to repeat information in the new frame.
1 Position the insertion point in the appropriate row, or select a range of cells in the rows you want to keep together.
2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Rows And Columns.
3 To keep the selected rows together, select Keep With Next Row.
4 To cause the row to break in a specified location, select an option (such as In Next Frame) from the Start Row
menu, and then click OK.
If you create a single table that spans both pages of a spread, you may want to add a blank column in the middle of
the table to create inset margins.

Change cell inset spacing
1 Using the Type tool , place the insertion point in or select the cell or cells you want to affect.
2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Text, or display the Table panel.
3 Under Cell Insets, specify values for Top, Bottom, Left, and Right, and then click OK.
In many cases, increasing the cell inset spacing will increase the row height. If the row height is set at a fixed value,
make sure that you leave enough room for the inset values, to avoid causing overset text.
Add text before a table

insertion point before the table.
❖ Place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph in the first cell, press the Left Arrow key, and begin
typing.
Format text within a table
In general, use the same methods to format text in a table that you would use to format text that’s not in a table.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
