Dots running across table. Help!
It does if the table is viewed in Normal/Draft view. There is a dotted line
stretching left and right of the table. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ... Page Break doesn't fit the symptom of "black dots on either side of the table." On Feb 22, 9:28 am, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: In this case, I agree, since the OP claims to have created the table.

I agree that the setting was probably inherited from the previous row -- but how did that one get it? I don't know of any way to get that accidentally, as there is no default shortcut or simple place to click by mistake, nor is there any built-in style that has Page Break Before.

When I added text to the second row, suddenly the last row moved to the next page, even though Print Preview showed that there was enough room for the row and text. When I tried to move that row back to its original position, I notice black dots on either side of the table, which act like a page break. I can't get the row and text back to its original page. What do I do? What's going on? Is there a way to get rid of the dotted lines so that I can place the last row with the rest of the rows on the same page? Any help will be appreciated. I have Word 2003. Maybe the paragraph in the second row is formatted with "Page Break Before". Click in that paragraph and go to the Format Paragraph dialog. Click the Line & Page Breaks tab of that dialog. If "Page Break Before" is checked, uncheck it. If that's the cause, I can't tell you how it happened -- that setting is very hard to apply by mistake. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ:http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.- |
