Text wrapping in a table...
I have a document with a 30 line table inserted into it. As I am typing and
reach the end of the column, the text just goes under the previous section of text. I need the text to wrap into the next row. I have tried selecting the text wrapping option "Around" but that does not help. Very annoying when typing and having to remember to check where I am and stop and click on the next row and start again. Thank you, Don Manning |

Text wrapping in a table...
Word provides no way to wrap text from one row to another in a table; that's
not what tables are designed for. -- Suzanne S.

Take a different approach. I suspect you're trying to create some sort of
form? See the "graphic lines" technique at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm. Or omit the lines altogether. -- Suzanne S.
