RE: Line limitation in table cell?

[Dowdell Charles <Charles.Dowdell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had a long standing policy to avoid multiple paragraphs in table
cells. I have had text information disappear in this case and I have verbal
consensus with Adobe that "it can happen". 

Beware when using multiple paragraghs and lots of lines in cells. I feel it
is better to split information into multiple cells and and use straddle or
remove the horizontal rule between the associated cells.

The one absolute limit is that FrameMaker will never, *ever*
break a table row across pages. You *must* ensure that no 
row (or individual cell) is taller than the available height in 
your text frame, or else the cell contents will simply disappear
off the bottom of the page. If you are displaying object borders
(View>Borders selected), you will see the bottom border of the
text frame change from a dotted line to a solid line, but this is
the only indication that content has become invisible due to 
a too-tall cell/row.

Hi Rick,

I set the maximum height to 14", minimum to 0".
When it's over 50 lines, I can't see the cell content
anymore.
What should I do?

Maybe your row isn't tall enough? If you go to Table | Row
Format, you'll
see a maximum height for the row.

For some reason, one of my writers had set that to 3", then
she couldn't
figure out why her table wasn't displaying correctly.

Hello Framers,

I'm using FM 6.0 on Win2Kpro.

Is there any line limitation in a table cell?
My table overlapped with others when
I inserted too many lines in the cell.
Pls let me know if you have any solution.

Thanks,
Maggie
