Default TABLES BREAKING ACROSS PAGE

Hi macropod,

I have checked the margins on the page on which the table begins and the
next page on which the table splits and they are the same. Page
Set-up/Multiple Pages is set to "Normal." Gutter position is 0 pts on both
pages, and the gutter position is"Left." Right and Left margins are the same
on both pages.

Here is another "hint" from a 2nd table in the same document. The table
starts on one page, and splits itself onto the subsequent page. The split
occurs mid-cell. The half of the cell that splits onto the 2nd page is about
1/4" askew to the right (not the left as in the first table cited), but then
the cells immediately below the 1/2 cell that has split onto the second page
are line up with the table on the first page. In other words, I have a table
that starts on one page and continues on a 2nd, but the lower half of the
cell that is splitt between the pages is askew to the right.

Hi William,

Check your page set-up - you've probably got different left & right margins and/or a gutter, and the document is set up for mirrored
margins.

Cheers

I have a table that is too large to fit on one page, and so it automatically
splits itself onto the second page. However, when I place the cursor in the
last cell on the right of the bottom row and press tab, I get a row whose
cell margins do not line up with the row above. The number of cells are
correct (5), but they are all shifted to the left about 1/4 inch.
