  I have resized my Creative Cloud InDesign document from 8″ x 11″ to the iPad Digital Publishing size. Now I have red dots in all of my tables. How can I fix all of these errors in a sufficient and easy way? Any advice would be great, thanks.

  The red dots are overset markers:

  I understand that these are overset markers, however sometimes it will not allow me to center the text in the cell. I have expanded the cell so that the red dot disappears, but the next is only taking up about 1/2 the cell and will not center correctly. Any advice?

  Maybe there is cell inset? Or an indent applied to the text? Could be all kinds of things.

  I have a similar problem. I can’t reduce the row height without losing the content, even though there is plenty of space and similar tables in the same document have much tighter rows.

  Could you post a screen shot of the table in Normal view (with frame edges showing) and Hidden characters showing? And ditto of the same section from Edit > Edit in Story Editor?

  I discovered it was the top and bottom cell insets, which had been set to 4. reducing them to zero solved the problem. If there’s a more elegant way then I’d be happy to see it.
  
  By the way, I’m not sure how you post a screenshot in this column.
