Brain teaser - Whac-A-Mole Table??

I've no idea how to do this...

 

I've tried to unmerge cells - and set different "At Least" / "Exactly" options - then merge again...

 

Logic would dictate, that the middle part - this "invisible" row - should be "flexible" and resize dynamically - keeping the rest "constant" - but it doesn't ?!?!

 

It's like this Whac-A-Mole game...

I'm not quite following what you are looking for. The last row expands based on content. Are you looking for the two body rows to expand proportionally?

As per screenshot - can you make left cell - 34mm high and right cell - 27 mm high - AT THE SAME TIME?

 

The last row / cells - doesn't matter.

And you were able to make left 34mm and right 27mm?

Yes, I made the first body row 27 mm and the center row 7 mm. I did not see any size shift when merging (red boxes) and the measurements read correctly.

Yes, doing it that way works - but try to select left cell - 34 - and change it's height using Control Panel - when everything is still merged 😉

 

Then select right cell - 27 - and change its height - again, using the Control Panel 😉

You are changing the original parameters now. I would unmerge and start over after I get accurate required measurements from "the client". Before I did something like this I would need to know what the end game is. A change like this would be billable time! 😁

@Dave Creamer of IDEAS 

 

Sorry 😉 I got this table - there is 8x of them - and I wanted to make them look identical - in terms of cell sizes - but whenever I touched one of the cells - the others would change as well.

 

So yeah, the only solution is to split them, resize and then merge back.

 

But it woud be much "nicer" - to be able to just resize one cell - and then SOME of them would resize accordingly - only those that are set to AT LEAST - not ALL of them - including EXACTLY...

 

Because, the next step - or at the same time - cell in the middle, with the description - also needs to be made equal in all tables ... But then it might a good time to make another video 😉

Here is a real table 😉

Not sure if that's what you meant - but after unmerging left and right cells, setting 2nd row - image and QR code row to 27mm, then 3rd, unmerged row to 7mm - then merging them back again - allows to get the right height of the cell with image - 27+7=34mm 🙂

 

But trying to resize by setting heigh to already merged cells - is a nightmare.

I'm not sure I'd use separate cells in the two outer columns.

How else to get this line under the photo and QR code? From the ParaStyle?

I haven't even tried, but it seems like an Object Style on the images and a Para Style on the following text would achieve the goal in a single vertical cell.

OK, the screenshot isn't perfect 😞 there are orange lines around every cell - kind of a "filling form".

Actually - it is possible - but you won't gonna believe how crazy it is to do it...

And the "crazy" solution - switching back and forth between left and right cells and setting 34 and 27 again and again 😉 after 40 or 50 times - the error margin goes down to 34.001 and 26.999 and then there is a perfect 34 and 27 😉
