Repeating the Contents of a Single Cell in a Table

Problem

I have a table. I need to repeat the contents of a single cell. I only selected that cell when I added the repeat instruction, but when I assemble the document, HotDocs creates an entire new row for each repetition. How can I create the list in a single cell and not repeat the entire row?

Solution

To repeat the contents of one cell in a table, rather than the whole row, you need to select only the text within that cell, rather than the cell itself.

You can tell when you have just the text within the cell selected when the grey highlight looks like the left-hand image below:

To repeat the contents of a single cell, you can also create a REPEAT instruction in a computation script and then insert that Computation variable in the cell.
