Tables: rows not allowed to break over pages. JohnC[ at ]Raytheon.com 18.07.2006 00:04:01 Here's what I've tried so far: Table > Properties > allow rows to break over pages. File > Page Setup > Layout > Continuous Format > Paragraph > only Window/Orphan is checked. It's the most amazing thing. When I started typing in a table row (Row 1) near the bottom of a page with lets say two rows (Row 2 and Row 3) under it (or at the very bottom of the page) and the text is wraping is working just fine. As I add more text into Row 1, I would expect Rows 2 and 3 to be pushed over into the next page. Instead Rows 2 and 3 just get pushed out of sight. There is an original page 2 where these rows should appear, but instead page 2 remains unchanged. On page 2 I can insert another table, and try the same things as above and everything works fine. Frustrating!! Any help is appreciated. Thanks, JohnC

Re: Tables: rows not allowed to break over pages. Jay Freedman <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> 18.07.2006 00:15:39 Probably the table is "floating". With the cursor anywhere in the table, go to Table > Table Properties, click the None button under Text Wrapping, and click OK. Now see if the table breaks properly. It's far too easy to convert the wrapping from None to Around by grabbing the little square on the northwest corner of the table and dragging it just a little. In Word 2002 and earlier, floating tables can't cross page boundaries. That changed in Word 2003. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
