Hi,
I guess your problem is that you wrote in a table cell.
FrameMaker will - unlike Word - not split table cells
if the cell height got too large for the text frame.
Therefore you have to limit the amount of text in your
table cell and continue in the next table row.
Best regards

This is a decent idea, but it has pitfalls.
I could explain the reasons why, but they are very technical.
You will find, though, that if you're not careful when you modify the

that the UI is static, so that the dialog box
