    Default Repeating region label obscures content

    I have created a template in which I have a table that has a header row
    that is non-repeating, followed immediately by rows that are repeating.
    The header is editable.

    The problem is that the on-screen indicator of the repeating region
    (Repeat: RegionName), which starts just below the header, obscures the
    header. This makes it very difficult to edit the content of that
    header row, since the characters are all behind the repeating region
    label.

    I've looked and looked, and it does not appear that there is any way to
    temporarily turn off the on-screen template region labels in
    Contribute, analogous to Ctrl-Shift-I in Dreamweaver, so that's not an
    option.

    Is this just a "feature" I'll just have to swallow?

    Default Re: Repeating region label obscures content

    I worked around this issue by adding an extra cell between the header
    and the repeating cells, and creating an editable region in that cell
    called "LeaveEmpty". This editable region was obscured by the
    repeating region label, but so what. The important region was left
    unobscured. As long as the user actually does leave the "LeaveEmpty"
    region empty, the cell takes up no room (since, for this table,
    cellpadding=0 and cellspacing=0 and border=0).

    Now, if a user clicks on "LeaveEmpty" and types into it, that's a
    slight issue, but if they can't follow such explicit direction, too bad.
