Table Frames

Question

Can text wrap be done in the Table frame? I have a field that contains a lot of text but cannot fit it into the table for this reason. I would like to be able to fit the information on an 8.5 x 11" layout in landscape. On the flip side, is there a way to have a table that looks like the pop-up window created in the Layout portion of arcpro?

Thanks

Hi Julia,

Thank you for pointing this out to me. I do not think I initially saw it but have since been able to correct it. Now I just need to wait for the team to tell me what data is absolutely necessary.

Thanks again

Hi GarthHoxsie-Quinn,

The short answer is yes! You can enable word wrapping in a table frame on a field-by-field basis. To do so, you can select the field you're looking to enable word wrapping for in the Contents pane, right click on it, and open the Properties pane for that field. The new Element Properties pane that appears will have an Appearance section, and within that section will be a checkbox that allows you to turn word wrapping on and off for that field.

It is worth noting that the Enable word wrapping checkbox will be disabled if you have the Auto width checkbox checked on.

Here is the same table before and after I enabled word wrapping for the Region field.

Here's some extra documentation on modifying tables in ArcGIS Pro, and specifically about the differences between Frames versus Fields The best ways to format ArcGIS Pro tables in layouts (esri.com).

Hope this helps!
