Is maximum vertical cell size in a table 211 mm ?

[KieranBrennanDublin]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a table in InDesign, to create some cells deeper than 211 mm (I keep getting a notification that 'The value must be between 1.058mm and 211.667mm' ?

I'm sure I've done this before, it seems a bit odd, any help appreciated.

Yes there is a limit (600 pt), but in addition to the other correct response, you could also merge cells to make a bigger one.

Of course, thank you.

The default is 211.667mm, but you can change it in a live table.

 

Highlight the cell and go to cell properties (Ctrl/Option B on a mac) and in the new UI go to the fourth tab across the top, rows and columns.

 Where I've circled is the part that dictates the maximum. Now change it to a larger value. In my case, I'll change it to 250mm and click OK.

Unfortunately, you can't set it to that height as a default while no documents are open.

 Hope that helps
