: InDesign — Text Frame position within a table cell Is there a way to set the position of the Text Frame within a table cell? I need some kind of anchor or margin for this. The names of

@Carla748

There are two other ways that this could be solved.

1. Baseline shift / Underline

Keeping all the elements in one cell as shown below:



As you can see, the 1 fr is normal text followed by a spacer (here I used N-space).

To create the space I applied a right indent tab after the N-space which will indent the text to the far right and everything you write after that indentation will flow from right to left (in this example the word Anything).



The leaders here are an underline applied to the Right Indent Tab and the text (Anything).



I also applied a Baseline shift and tweaked both the Baseline shift and the Underline Offset until I get the desired lockup.



2. Using A text frame as an Anchor

For this to work consistently and positioned exactly the same u need to use the Anchor Options and Customise its position.





If anyone needs further explanations on how I used the Custom Anchor Options to sit in the right place, please ask.

Hope all this is clear.

As you mentioned before, I think the simplest solution would be to have the holidays on a separate layer. Trying to add them to your current table, although it is possible, could overcomplicate your design.

That being said this could be achieved by splitting each day's cell into three parts (Instead of one): Far left would be the date. Top right would be for holidays. Bottom right for leader characters.

Not so pretty example:
