Why is "Allow row to break across pages" greyed out?
I am trying to get my table to break across pages but the "Allow row to break
across pages" check box is disabled so I cannot achieve this. I have tried everything to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

Answer: Why is "Allow row to break across pages" greyed out?
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the "Allow row to break across pages" option in Microsoft Word.
The reason why this option is greyed out is because it only applies to specific types of tables. In order for this option to be available, you need to have a table that is set up to allow rows to break across pages. Here's how you can check if your table is set up correctly:
If the option is greyed out, you can try the following steps to enable it:
If the option is still greyed out, then it's possible that your table is part of a larger document that has specific formatting restrictions. In this case, you may need to modify the document settings or consult with the document owner to make the necessary changes.

Is the table wrapped? Wrapped tables can't extend beyond one page in Word
2000 (and it's an option in Word 2002 and 2003). Is the check box really disabled or just checked and dimmed, indicating that the rows selected have multiple states? -- Suzanne S.

The check box for "Repeat as heading" will be disabled if the selection does
not include the top row of the table, but I can't imagine what's causing the other. Do you have any vertically merged cells? -- Suzanne S.
