[reportlab-users] Tables and spanning

[Johan Paul Glutting]

Ok, more on this. The initial problem (that showed up in my test code, 
which was essentially just the header of the table) was that a spanning 
does not work for tables wider than the visible width of the paper (I 
knew the table was too big, but I had planned to work on some wrapping 
code after I got the spanning right - serves me right ...). Even the 
reduced header was just a smidge too wide.

The second problem, which is why the full table failed in a different 
way, is that even a reduced, narrower version of the table with all the 
data fails, because spanning does not seem to work correctly when the 
table is longer than the length of the paper used. Since splitByRow is 
turned on by default for tables, I am not sure what else I can do to fix 
this.

Has anyone run into this problem before? It seems like this type of 
problem would crop up fairly often, and someone must have dealt with it. 
I have not been able to google up any fixes. Any suggestions?
I saw a mention for CondPageBreak() in an earlier thread from February. 
Not sure if that would help.

Any suggestions appreciated.
