Lines in a table
I've got a simple table with two columns (A&B), two rows (1&2) . The first
cells - A1 & B1 are less than one page. However, A2 has text that extends over two pages. I only want lines to show at the bottom border of A1 & A2 and on the right border, but lines keep appearing in the middel of the cell at the end of each page as well as at the end of the cell. I've tried all sorts of configurations but it appears there is a default somewhere that insists cell borders go at the end of the page for each column as well as at the end of the cell. I turn off all borders. Then click for borders only on the right side of A1 and A2, and at the bottom of A1 and A2. But lines keep appearing midway through A2 as it extends more than one page. Any idea how to cut that out? I've selected allow text to break across pages, not that it has anything to do with this. |

If you DON'T allow text to break across pages, you will have a bottom border
after your last row. The downside of this is that you may have considerable white space if the cells don't exactly fill the page. Also, what you may be seeing at the bottom of your page is not a user-assigned border, but the gridlines that appear in tables by default. To turn off the gridlines, use the Table menu; the last entry is Show (or Hide) Gridlines. "Industrial Numbat" wrote in message ... I've got a simple table with two columns (A&B), two rows (1&2) .

Unfortunately the text is much greater than one page - it goes across three
pages, so when I don't allow text to break across pages, only the first third of the text appears and the rest becomes hidden text that will not print. It's a perplexing problem. I'm fairly good with word and I don't know why this border keeps appearing at the bottom of each page that is still within the single cell. It shouldn't have a border until the end of the cell, but for some reason it keeps appearing at the bottom of the page (in the middle of the cell). At one point it was doing it at the top of each page for that cell, but I managed to turn that off. "Richard O.

Did you turn off the gridlines? You may also have to make a selection in the
print menu so the gridlines don't print. "Industrial Numbat" wrote in message ...
