section breaks without moving text
Another point: the % shadings are created with dots. If you choose one color
for the Fill and another for the shading, you can get a two-tone background. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Oaty" wrote in message ... A background fill allows 48 different patterns. I would like a dotted background. whereas the shading format only allows about 12 different patterns.e.g. dk trellis, lt trllis etc. However, when using background the entire sheet attains the background not just the line. To attain just the line background I've attempted to use a one line table which works , but throws the break to the next page. If I use shading it works fine but not with the pattern I would like to use from backgrounds. "Suzanne S.

What sort of pattern are you trying to use? The Borders and Shading dialog accessed from the Table Tools | Design tab in Word 2007 seems to me to offer the same choices as the one accessed from the Home tab, both of which are essentially the same as their counterparts in Word 2003. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Oaty" wrote in message ... No there are no footnotes. Although, I would like to solve this problem for future reference perhaps, I am going about this with the wrong approach to begin with. All that I am trying to accomplish is to have three columns followed below by a single line of text with a particular dotted patterned background for this line only that will actually print as a heading for text or additional columns to follow. The pattern I wish to use is not available under borders and shading.The only way I've managed to get it to work is with a table . What I have done is placed a continuous section break after the last column and formatted the table with a pattern. Works fine except for all the solutions offered it gets pushed to another page. If I simply enter text instead of a table or text box it enters without being pushed , but this doesn't allow for a particular patterned background on this line only . "Suzanne S.

How do I format the paragraph .. as 1 pt font size with line spacing as 1 pt font size.. I don't see either as an option under format/paragraph. Spacing before/after is already set to zero. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Note that a table in Word is always followed by a paragraph mark (¶). If the paragraph mark doesn't fit on the same page as the table, the table will move to the following page. To work around this, format the paragraph mark as 1 pt font size, with a line spacing of exactly 1 pt and spacing before/after set to zero. You could also/alternatively format the mark as hidden. To show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting marks, you can press Ctrl+Shift+8 or use the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar (Word 97-2003) or on the Home tab (Word 2007). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Oaty" wrote in message ... Same problem. I've got a section with three columns. I placed a section break after the last column and started a small table. This table is shifted to another page. It also happens later in the document. Individually, these work...i.e. if viewed in several different documents, but each forces the next section break onto a new .That is each time I use columns the next section break forces the section onto a new page.

I've tried to use a variety of different kinds of section breaks--odd page, even page, continuous but each time it moves my Table onto the next page. Is there a way to insert a section break without moving the text onto the next page? Thanks. . . . |
