Limiting number of table rows per page

[Aniseed]

Hi everyone,

I'm using mail merge to populate a table. The table will run to several
pages.

I want to limit the number of rows to a fixed count, say 20 rows per
page.

To achieve this, I could fiddle with the page margin, but I expect some
of the rows to overflow and cause line breaks, which would leave me
with a different number of rows on the pages where that occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Aniseed

You could specify a fixed height for the table rows. In Table>Table
Properties, click the Row tab. Check "Specify height", type the
desired value, and choose "Exactly" for "Row height is".

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for that. I tried it out, and it does the job.

Only thing that worries me is text disappearing off the bottom of each
table cell if it overruns the cell height.

Thanks for your time.

I'm glad I could help.

If it happens frequently, then you would of course have to either
increase the row height or reduce the text font size, whichever seems
appropriate.
