Also, as a follow-up, and I've mentioned this before, it would be great if "delete row" on table returned the row that was deleted. I use a lot of iterators and once I've gone through the content, it's gone. I end up having to save my iterator values to another list before adding them to the table because I have to have them to re-add the row if I have to delete it for space reasons. I the delete method returned the row that was deleted, and there were a corresponding method for adding a row to a table, I'd be able to ditch a lot of otherwise memory hogging/object creating code.

Use this method. If the table will not fit the page, given your column length, delete the cell, move to the next column, and start a new table. I currently use this method when building large tables not for the purpose of column splitting, but to keep the tables small in memory (tables are not rendered to the PDF until you close them). Thus, when my table reaches the end of the page I end the table, and start a new one on the next page. Good luck!

I just wondering if you think maybe these are stupid questions or maybe there's an answer somewhere in the mail archive that i've overlooked. Anyway, i'd appreciate a pointer on what do with my problem if possible.
