Reply To: Moving text in tables

Not sure that I have understood your query exactly but here are my thoughts.

When I used a table structure to produce a calendar, I placed two text frames over the top of each other, each on its own layer and each with a table within it. Both tables had the same cell parameters (row height, column width etc.) so that they coincided exactly. The one in the lower layer had a large number for the date in a pale colour. The one in the upper layer had the details for that particular day in smaller darker text.

Since neither table had any fill colour (though the lower one could have) the information in both tables was visible, the date details being superimposed onto the date number.

Hope that helps.
