Auto-wrapping a table row exceeding the printable page size?
« on: October 23, 2025, 11:12:18 pm »
Dear EA experts,

we are currently struggling with a table in which some of the cells have more content than fits on the printable page of the RTF template, i.e. the bottom of the cell supersedes the page footer and is then cropped at the page bottom. Is there a way to format the table such that the row will be split across pages in case it is too big for a single page?

You probably wonder why we can have so much content in a single table cell, hence a bit of background. The table specifies test cases that are to be conducted manually. First column is the steps to execute, second column the expected output and third column contains checkboxes for pass/fail. The test instructions as well as expected output can grow quite large in particular test cases.

Thanks a lot in advance for your advice

Markus

I don't think you can do much about this in EA, but I think you can in Word.

What we do is: generate to docx, and then update the tables in Word to fit our needs. (we even have some VBA scripts to automate part of that stuff)

Just my guess, but the Header Row and the Keep Row Together settings in the Template editor, the Edit ribbon, the Table button might mitigate your situation.
