Same here. I always work in 'Page View'. My largest table right now is apprx. 130 pages - set up in A4 - not US Letter... No problems with page breaks. My tables consists of 2 or 3 columns.

But I have noticed one big thing working with such large tables. NWP gets extremely slow when exceeding 100 pages with text only tables.

A work-around for this is to make such large tables into 'chapters' so each table will be smaller, and the final document then contains more tables - here for example 30 tables consisting of 2 or 3 columns - i.e. 1 table for 1 chapter.

...And NWP will definitely be as fast as if it only contained 10-20 pages of pure text.:-)

cheers, Erik Richard

I'm surprised to hear this. I often have large tables that span multiple

that has a table which spans four pages in page view. No problems.

Thanks Bob,

Sadly it seems that Nisus Pro tables don’t span multiple pages, except
in Draft View, and this rather imperfectly, so it’s no great use. Yet,
this is something Word or Oppen Office do without any trouble. That’s
a feature to be requested —if compatible with .rtf format.

Nisus's columns definitely will not do what you want.

Try a table having two columns.  I cannot remember whether there are
problems with a table spanning multiple pages.

If you need to align related text in the two columns, you need to do
it via table rows.  If not, I believe the entire table can have only
one row.
