A multi-page invoice table
An invoice table, laid out across as many pages as its lines need.
Overlong text in a narrow cell
Overlong text in a narrow table cell: left to overflow the column, or cut to it.
A table whose column is narrower than some of the words that have to go in it — a dish name, a product description, a customer's company. The same table is laid out twice: above as the names come, below cut to the column.
This is the table-shaped version of the overlong word, and it is the same setting, made per cell. Which answer is right depends on the document: a delivery note would rather overflow than lie, a fixed-width label would rather cut. The engine takes the instruction and never decides on its own.
What this example shows
- Cell text left to overflow its column, or cut at the edge.
- The setting made per cell rather than for the whole table.
- Both outcomes shown on one page, from the same rows.

Coloured cell borders and fills

A self-paginating table
A long table handed over whole, deciding for itself where the pages break: its heading on top of every page, its footnote under every page, its grey grounds stated once for the whole table, and a note you draw under each page at the exact place the table reports.
Cells merged down the rows
A specification sheet whose cells are merged down the rows: each group named once beside all of its rows, with one note beside them; the thin lines stop at those cells' edges, and a note too long for the rows it covers makes them grow.
Columns measured from their cells
One parts list twice: four columns sharing the width equally, then the reference, the quantity and the price each as wide as their own widest cell and the description given everything they leave.
