InDesign 2 problem with tables
I need some help with this one.
I am working on a large book-project with tons of content, and between text frames I have tables with various stats. These tables are in separate
frames within the text content because I use dropshadow and feather on them.
The problem arises as the table reaches the bottom of a page, the tables do not automatically break and continue on the next page or column, instead
they continue on the OUTSIDE of the page, which is altogether too embarr[Censored]ing...
Anybody got a solution for this?

Thought I would post so you wouldn't think yuo were being ignored.
Well; I haven't had any chances to use InDesign2 as of yet. However I did try a quick serch yesterday; and did really find out anything. I'll be
trying some more, in-dpth searching here in a little while.
One thing I was gonna say however; I too have messed with other programs that allow for tables, and they just cut them off -- I haven't found any way
around things like this, except for either re-sizing th fons, page margins, or just trying to maunlay create/break up the tables the way I wonted they
to look.
Maybe some of that will help you.
If you have any other questions; feel free to post them -- and I'll try and help out as much as I can.

I just can't do that any longer because of the sheer size of the project. It is an RPG book so I need tables quite often to have stats in them - and
often the size of a table is larger than one page, and it is still in development. Manual handling isn't a good solution either, as I still have more
to be added in the beginning of the document every now and then.
I'll try forwarding my question to a InDesign-exclusive forum, as I suppose they have the competence for these kinds of things... We can't be gurus on
all software, now can we? 
BTW - thanks for the reply.
