Table Insists on Being at Top of Page
We prepared custom CVs required by a project and the CVs used Word tables to
hold some of the text. The formatting of the original was fine. We circulated the CVs to individuals to complete and one returned with a table mystery. CVs prepared by others were fine €“ they did not have this problem. One section of the CV has some non-table text followed by a table that breaks across several pages. This table insists on starting at the top of the page and I cannot insert any text above it €“ if I do, it jumps to the next page. This is a nuisance as I would like to have a heading (in the body of the document, not in a header) at the top of the page. Somehow one guy editing his CV messed up the formatting. I would be grateful for any ideas. |

Check the Text Wrapping for the table.

Check each paragraph in the top row, and you'll probably find that one is
formatted as "Page break before." Alternatively, it may be that all (or quite a few) of the rows (or paragraphs in them) are formatted as "Keep with next."

Table Insists on Being at Top of Page
Thanks again, Suzanne. After some experimenting, I selected the entire table
and used the (Word 200&) "Home/Paragraph" command and under "Line and page breaks" deselected everything. The problem disappeared. I suspect the CV author copied text into the table and brought some formatting with him "Suzanne S.
