Fixed size

(not available for sub-tables)

The "Fixed height" property lets you specify that the size of the table is not to be adjusted automatically when it has fewer data lines than the available space in the table object, after the field names are replaced with content. If the property is disabled, the end of the table moves upwards automatically.
If a footer line is defined, "fixed size" will cause it to be separated from the rest of the table by a space of at least one line. This space accommodates the frame as defined in the data line definition 1. Otherwise, the footer line will appear immediately below the table.

Please consider that any objects interlinked with the table can only adjust their position automatically to correspond with changes in the table size if "fixed size" is disabled.

Suppress data lines
