Are the three four-column sections independent? That is, do the fifth and
ninth columns have the same content as the first, and so on?* If so, why not
put 99 rows and four columns in three newspaper-style columns? Although you
could insert column breaks as needed, this would break the table; if you
want to be able to treat it as a continuous table, you can force the column
breaks by applying "Keep with next" to the appropriate rows.
*To clarify, I mean if the table is something like this:
Name Address City State Name Address City State (etc. twice more)

I have a similar problem as Oscar above. I have 12 columns and 99 rows,
all
filled with text and formatting (sections with gray headings etc.).
This table has three 4-column sections side-by-side. I need to add some
rows
to only the rightmost section, but even via spitting cells, the whole
12-column row gets split. And unlike inserting rows, splitting cells makes
only the text contents move down, not the formatting, border styles etc.
Very frustrating!
Can I split the table along the third major column (actually between col8
and col9)? As I understand it, I can only split at a row border, not a
column border.
Or do I need to just make three tables out of the thing, then attach them
together physically but not logically, so they'll stay independent? If so,
how can I do that?
Thanks,
Ed
