Enter inside table moves the table
Hi! This problably has a very simple explanation but I can't find it myself.
I have a two column table. The left column starts with a single paragraph thats formatet with Heading 1. I want to be able to move the whole paragraph downwards with Enter but if i do that at the absolute top of the table, the marker moves outside of the table instead of making a new line break. How do I prevent this form happening? I use Word 2003. mvh //Monika |

Enter inside table moves the table
This happens if the table starts at the very beginning of the document (I
guess that this is the case with your table). I think it is made so by design. What happens is that Word actually performs the Split Table command in that situation instead of just inserting a paragraph (this can be seen by recording a macro). To insert the paragraph in the table, you can, for example, position the cursor after the first character in the first cell and press Enter. Then delete the superfluous character from the new paragraph and type it again in the second paragraph. Note that if you have cross-references pointing to your Heading 1 paragraph, you will need to correct them since the Ref bookmark that the cross-references point to now starts in your new paragraph.

Enter inside table moves the table
Hi Monika
You might experience problems when using heading styles in tables. A heading style has a built in 'keep with next', and you will find that this will make the row stick together with the following row. If that row also has a heading style, Word will keep pushing them onto the next page if you have not ticked the box 'allow row to break across pages'. You can remove 'keep with next' in FormatParagraphLines and page breaks. However, I prefer to create special table heading styles without the 'keep with next' feature.

Keep in mind, too, that, while Word's built-in heading styles have Normal as
the following style, this doesn't apply in tables: when you press Tab to create a new row, it takes on the same formatting (including styles) as the previous one, so you could easily get a whole table full of heading paragraphs if you're not alert. -- Suzanne S.

This table is only for layout resons in a document that will only have one
row (and one heading) so the problems that you and Suzanne are talking about will not accur but it's good to know until next time.
