Dots running across table. Help!
I've created a table with one row and one column, but later I added a second
row. 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. |

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. |

Dots running across table. Help!
A small black square on either side of a paragraph (or table row), as
opposed to a row of small dots across the screen, indicates that one of the attributes that causes paragraphs to stick to what follows is invoked: either "Keep Lines Together" or "Keep With Next" (or both). Both of these are controlled in the Format Paragraph dialog (second tab). (I don't think they appear when the table attribute about not breaking a row across pages is turned on.)

Dots running across table. Help!
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.

Dots running across table in Word Document
The dots happen because a T2 style was used in teh first column of the table which has a "Keep With Next Format" in it. Highlight the column and make it normal.
