Hi!

I have a table with four cells:
R1C1 | R1C2
R2C1 | R2C2

Is there a way to have text written in R1C1 (row 1 column 1) continue
automagically in e.g. R2C2 when it reaches the cell's borders? (Much
like in linked text boxes?)

Thanks in advance,

Christian

To accomplish this, you will have to insert linked text boxes in the cells.
You can set the Text Wrapping to "In line with text" so that the text boxes
are in fact inside the cells (and remove the text box borders of course).

Hi Stefan,

It's working fine, thank you!
The only problem is that when I tab through the cells I end up
overwriting the text boxes. Any remedy to that?

Thanks again,

Christian

Not that I can think of, unfortunately.
