Insert paragraph between table & heading?
I have a table immediately followed by a (numbered) Heading1
paragraph. I want to put a "Body Text" style paragraph in between them. If I put the cursor at the very end of the last table row and press return, all I get is another table row (rather than a new paragraph). I tried to select the last row and change it to "Body Text", but that only changed the style within the table cells. It didn't convert the row into a non-table paragraph. As another way of inserting a paragraph between the table and the Heading1 paragraph, I put the cursor just before the first letter of the Heading1 paragraph and pressed return. That created a Heading1 paragraph just before the original one. Now I can change the new Heading1 paragraph to Body Text. However, all cross-references to the original Heading1 paragraph now refer to the new Heading1 paragraph. When I changed the new Heading1 paragraph to Body Text, all the aforementioned cross-references became (for example) "see Section 0" instead of the paragraph number of the original Heading 1 paragraph. Based on what I've been learning from this newsgroup lately, I realize there's all sorts of acrobatics one might be able to do with revealing codes and search/replace, but figuring that out really necessary to insert a paragraph between a table and a heading? I'm using Word 2003 on Windows XP. Thanks. |

Insert paragraph between table & heading?
Another approach is to add a row to the table, then right-click in that row
and choose Split Table. This will insert a Normal paragraph between the new row and the existing table. Then select the new row and press Backspace to delete. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Select the whole cross-referenced (bookmarked) heading; be sure to include the paragraph mark that terminates the paragraph. Cut it and paste elsewhere in the document. Then add the blank paragraph by pressing Enter at the beginning of what is now the paragraph below the table. Cut and paste the heading back into position. The exercise will be easier if you display nonprinting marks which you can do by pressing the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar. Paragraph marks will display as pilcrows (¶). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via news.eternal-september.org) "Paul" wrote in message ...

Insert paragraph between table & heading?
Thanks, Stefan, and Suzanne. I also found from trial and error that I
can press Shift-Ctrl-Return at the right end of a table row. That inserts a Normal paragraph. Regarding the bit about cross-references to numbered headings, life sure would be easier if one can turn on visibility of these automatic bookmarks. On Aug 25, 11:09*am, "Suzanne S.

Insert paragraph between table & heading?
Thanks for the tip, but for me that shortcut just splits the table. Even if
you have inserted a new row, you'll still have to delete it, and if you haven't inserted a new row, then you'll have to drag the split-off row back up to the table. -- Suzanne S.

Actually, Ctrl+Shift+Enter inserts a *column* break. As a consequence, the table
will be split (the same thing happens if you insert a manual page break or section break within a table cell). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via news.eternal-september.org) "Suzanne S.

Insert paragraph between table & heading?
This action results in a split table, but I make sure that the stuff
that is split off consists of empty unneeded rows. After adding some text paragraphs between the two parts of the table, I select the lower split-off table and "cut" it (it doesn't seem to be deletable).

If you select an entire table, you can delete it with Backspace.

Since Delete only clears the *contents* of cells, I guess Backspace was a
compromise. Moreover, note that, years ago, Word Help actually suggested using Cut as a method to delete a whole table. I don't recall that Help mentioned Backspace...

I think Backspace may have been introduced along with the "table handle."

Based on what I've been learning from this newsgroup lately, I realize there's all sorts of acrobatics one might be able to do with revealing codes and search/replace, but figuring that out really necessary to insert a paragraph between a table and a heading?

Insert paragraph between table & heading?
That would mean Word 2002, I suppose?

Insert paragraph between table & heading?
No, I think the table handle was Word 2000, because that was the first
version in which tables could be wrapped (and of course they become wrapped if you move them with the table handle, a significant trap for the unwary). -- Suzanne S.
