Keeping A Table Together, Suzanne's Method Not Working
I've read and followed Suzanne Barnhill's instructions posted on Word MVPs,
but my tables still break. I selected the table, turned off the allow breaks optin in the row tab, made sure every style used within the table was set to keep with next (all formatting in my doc is applied with style sheets, is that a problem?) I'm using Word 2003. Am I doing something wrong or is this method not 100% reliable? |

Keeping A Table Together, Suzanne's Method Not Working
I have solved my own problem. I had all headings above the table (the
document is just headings and tables) set to Keep With Next, thereby creating a long unbreakable mass throughout the document, which I guess makes Word override and break where it wants. I changed the headings to force just the one above the table to keep with next and all seems to work now. Thanks, Suzanne. |

Keeping A Table Together, Suzanne's Method Not Working
Yeah, I was going to say that if the table is longer than one page, there's
no way Word can keep it all together, and having a lot of KWN headings above would amount to the same thing. Sooner or later, something's gotta give! -- Suzanne S.
