Many thanks, David. Will do.
(and I guess your tiny ‘interrupting’ row idea can be helped by cell styles… although I don’t think you can specify cell height in styles? Not that I can see anyway…).

Thanks for your time, Mr B. If it gets a “hm” from the mighty Blatner, then I know I’m not just being dumb. Maybe there’s a plug-in? Preferably, though, I’d like this functionality to be built into ID. Do you think Adobe would accept the following in their suggestion box: “To be able to interupt the flow of alternate styles in tables with a third style, after which alternate styles resume from style no 1”. Or perhaps a more elegant way of phrasing it, which I can’t think of. Can you use pull some strings, please, David? Call favours? Buy drinks for somebody over there? Can I bribe somebody? It’s that serious! Cheers. Ian
