Hi folks, I got probably an idea. If you do an continuous table which could fill several linked text frames, so you would change for example column size in the first frame and it would affect the size of that column through out every frame.
Two points must be taken in consideration: 1- If header are the same throughout all tables. I do not know if all column headers would be the same or different. If they are the same I do not know if the item "repeat table header in next page" considers a change in frames equal to a change in page. If not just repeat manually headers in next frame. The downfall with this is if you add more data to the starting table you must either increase the frame or reorganize all tables manually through the text. 2- Hiding tha fact that the table is an continuous among frames and table isn included in an frame. If header repeating does not work or you headers are different you could hide the continuity among frames just by not applying line. Cell frame can also be invisible by not applying borders. Well hope it helps.
