Deleting a paragraph between tables/merging two tables
For some reason, perhaps when i put a page break on the wrong spot, my very
long table got split up. Now there are lines/paragraphs in between my table and I can't delete them nor figure out how to re-merge the table into ONE table. Help! |

Sam,
go to options, view. In the "formatting marks" select "all". Now you should see the page breaks marks, you can cancel them and doing so your table should become one as before.

Deleting a paragraph between tables/merging two tables
I was able to delete the page breaks--it's the paragraph I can't delete. I
changed my view to show all P's, and even if I highlight the P and delete or cut it, I can't get rid of it to make my table whole again... "Marco Giorcelli" wrote: Sam, go to options, view.

Try this: go to view, normal. Then select the area that is splitting your
tables, go to "table" menu, and choose "convert text to table". Ciao Marco "i*sam" wrote: I was able to delete the page breaks--it's the paragraph I can't delete.

Deleting a paragraph between tables/merging two tables
Well, that helped but did nto fix the problem...I converted the line space to
a table, then deleted that, which makes it look as if my table is whole, but it is still being recognised as two tables. "Marco Giorcelli" wrote: Try this: go to view, normal.

Right-click each table, choose Table Properties, and make sure that Text
wrapping is set to None (instead of Around) for both tables. Does this now let them remarry? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "i*sam" wrote in message ...

i*sam,
There's a real good chance you're running into the same thing I continually forget and have to re-learn; Tracking can drive you nuts. If Tracking was enabled when the new paragraph mark was created, try as you might, you will not be able to delete it via Edit | Cut or the Delete key. To get rid of it you will have to Reject the change, or, disable Tracking, at which point you will be able to Cut or Delete. Hope this is the answer for you. If not, I guess we're all stumped. david |
