Thanks back at you. I rather expected that would be the way it worked. There's some danger in doing that (except for the kind of reason I had where the moved item was destined to be deleted once I've extracted its data). InDesign's composer makes quite different composition decisions at page boundaries depending on whether or not another text frame follows; in some circumstances, I could see text being lost, although it might take some setting up to demonstrate the issue. I've decided to use a different layer for the table, in the same document. It is the nature of this kind of work, that for quite a long time, you have very little progress to demonstrate, and then, all of a sudden the job is done. I've successfully gotten past the first hurdle (adding rows to accommodate new entries). Now, I'm working on adding columns to accommodate new headings (the headings in the table correspond to either the paragraph style name or the run-in head of the data). Dave
