Default Dots running across table. Help!

It does if the table is viewed in Normal/Draft view. There is a dotted line
stretching left and right of the table.

Page Break doesn't fit the symptom of "black dots on either side of
the table."

In this case, I agree, since the OP claims to have created the table.

one encounters this issue in editing/revising the work of others, however.

I agree that the setting was probably inherited from the previous row
-- but how did that one get it? I don't know of any way to get that
accidentally, as there is no default shortcut or simple place to click
by mistake, nor is there any built-in style that has Page Break
Before.

But the setting is inherited when you press Tab to create a new row--and
may
well have been applied to the preceding rows (especially the heading
row).

a

What's going on? Is there a way to get rid of the dotted lines so that
I
can
place the last row with the rest of the rows on the same page?


Any help will be appreciated.


I have Word 2003.


Maybe the paragraph in the second row is formatted with "Page Break
Before".


Click in that paragraph and go to the Format Paragraph dialog. Click
the Line & Page Breaks tab of that dialog. If "Page Break Before" is
checked, uncheck it.


If that's the cause, I can't tell you how it happened -- that setting
is very hard to apply by mistake.
