is there a way to repeat content of cell from last row from previous page?
I have a table that slits across multiple pages. The table is a simple
grid with header rows. In firts column there is a group identifier that is nonblank only if row is first in group (see below) -------------------------------------------------- Parent Name Children Names -------------------------------------------------- Mary Anne Betty John Mark Peter John Paul Amy If table goes to next page, and break occurs in the middle of group, I want Parent name to appear: -------------------------------------------------- Parent Name Children Names -------------------------------------------------- Mary Anne Betty John Mark Peter John Paul ____ page break _____ -------------------------------------------------- Parent Name Children Names -------------------------------------------------- Peter Amy (Page breaks are automatic) Is there a way to do this? I thought to use somethign as follows: whenever Parent Name changes, I insert an incremental bookmark to the parent name (bk1, bk2, ...). and the SEQ field that increments by one whenever parent name changes Then I would add a line to header row that has a REF field in first column, and the bookmark name for this REF field would be bk+value of SEQ field. Is this possible? I tried {REF bk{={SEQ xx}}} but this generates "Error!Reference not found"... Thanks in advance for any advice |

Hi Ip,
Try the STYLEREF field. The help topic explains how it works. I have a table that slits across multiple pages. The table is a simple grid with header rows. In firts column there is a group identifier that is nonblank only if row is first in group (see below) -------------------------------------------------- Parent Name Children Names -------------------------------------------------- Mary Anne Betty John Mark Peter John Paul Amy If table goes to next page, and break occurs in the middle of group, I want Parent name to appear: -------------------------------------------------- Parent Name Children Names -------------------------------------------------- Mary Anne Betty John Mark Peter John Paul ____ page break _____ -------------------------------------------------- Parent Name Children Names -------------------------------------------------- Peter Amy (Page breaks are automatic) Is there a way to do this? I thought to use somethign as follows: whenever Parent Name changes, I insert an incremental bookmark to the parent name (bk1, bk2, ...). and the SEQ field that increments by one whenever parent name changes Then I would add a line to header row that has a REF field in first column, and the bookmark name for this REF field would be bk+value of SEQ field. Is this possible? I tried {REF bk{={SEQ xx}}} but this generates "Error!Reference not found"...

Cindy,
thank you very much. Since I posted the queston, I found other posts sugestign styleref and I tried to use it. It works, but the solution seems quite complicated: since I want to show "Parent Name" in the middle of the group ONLY if the middle of the group appears as first row on a page, I need to be able to detect automatic page breaks. I have done it with a series of SEQ and IF fields (on each row, IF fields checks if this row is first on a new page, and if so, it resolves to STYLEREF field. Do you know of any simpler way?

Don't know if it's "simpler" from your point of view, but personally I might consider just running a macro on the document just before printing/publishing. (IOW static, not dynamic generation of the "repeat content").
