Unwanted page breaks in a table
After creating a table spanning several pages (by adding rows as I needed
them), I decided to create a second table of the same layout, so I copied the table, pasted it into a new document of the same page layout, and then deleted the contents of the cells, giving me a table identical to the first but blank. What I have found, however, are what appear to be unwanted page breaks within the second table - five or six rows on one page, a large space afterwards, and then perhaps 20 or so rows on the next. In Normal view these appear as dotted lines running the width of the document. I have tried to select the page breaks in Normal view, to delete them, but I cannot. I should add that I did not insert manual page breaks in the document containing the original table. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks. |

Read http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...ksInTables.htm for the full list. The most likely cause is a Page Break Before setting in the paragraph properties of one or more of the cells in the row that follows a page break. -- 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. |
