Hi Prakash,

in a case like that I would reduce the overall used point size in all table cells until no cell has overflow.

Then I would begin to optimize the width of every table column.

Also see into the values for left and right insets. Also the maximum height of a cell and if it is set to auto grow.

Could also be that there is permanent overflow of cells.

Check formatting like "No Break" of text or value "None" for language of text.

Regards,
Uwe

Hi prakashc39562731:

I agree with a smaller type size as a starting point. Two other layout options to consider in this predicament:

1. Rotate the entire table to present it as landscape to give you more room for the text (it would have to be in its own anchored frame), or
2. Just rotate the table heads
