Breaking a table between two pages Jim Kettelkamp 12/24/2008 3:11:01 AM Why does Microsoft Word put an extra paragraph return before a table on a second page after a forced page break (CTRL+ENTER)? I'm working on training scripts that utilize tables to keep the visual content/direction and script content together through the document. When I start a new "idea" I want it to start on a new page so I use (CTRL+ENTER) to force a new page. This inserts a paragraph mark (I work with paragraphs returns showing) at the top of the new page before the table. Any thoughts on how to eliminate this?

Note that this will not break the table, so any repeating heading rows will repeat. -- Suzanne S.
