Hi everyone,
I have a specific problem with paragraph borders in figures and tables and hope that someone here might have a tip.
In my layout I have info text boxes with left paragraph border. In addition to text, these info text boxes can also contain figures and tables, which should also have paragraph borders on the left. Unfortunately, the paragraph border interrupts figures and tables. This always happens when there is a page break in the info text box.
Does anyone have a solution here? I have attached an example file.
Best regards
David

The numbers must vary depending on the width of your text frames and the width of your columns if you are using multi-column text frames.
