Table seem to have a space around it
HI
I am doing a Word 2003 document which contains a lot of tables that contain nested tables . Each table (which have the nested tables inside) is separated by various paragraphs. Everything was fine until page 8 of my document then suddenly, everytime I pasted in a new table containing nested tables, , the whole paragraph slipped down to the next page, leaving a large space in the preceding page. The table would either separate their rows, or the back space just would not work to get the table back to the proper positon. I have tried pasting and inserting my document as a new file, deleting some of the preceding tables incase there was some kind of formatting error.. But nothing has worked. I don't know what to do. Thanks for your help |

Have you set the option to not let rows break across pages? And do the paragraphs around and in the tables have the formatting "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together". That combination could account for what you describe.

Yes I have tried all the options.
I set the option not to let rows break across pages And I set the option to keep with next and keep lines together/ Then I set the reverse Cleared not let rows break across pages Cleared options to keep with next and keep lines together Then I checked not to let rows break and cleared keep lines together and next Then I cleared not to let rows break , and checked keeped lines together and next. I have also tried copying a table from a previous page which is okay on that page, but on the page I am having problems with, it had the same problems. In addition, often I can't get the cursor out of the table. Thanks for any help. But nothing seems to work.

Hi ?B?UG9yZ3k=?=,
It sounds as if at least one table's internal structures have been damaged. With such complexly designed tables (nested tables) this could be very difficult to trouble-shoot without recreating the tables from scratch... Try saving the file as XML, close, then re-open. Any change? Yes I have tried all the options. I set the option not to let rows break across pages And I set the option to keep with next and keep lines together/ Then I set the reverse Cleared not let rows break across pages Cleared options to keep with next and keep lines together Then I checked not to let rows break and cleared keep lines together and next Then I cleared not to let rows break , and checked keeped lines together and next.

Hi
I couldn't save it as XML, Word only allows HTM. So I did, and the dialogue box did inform me about some text wrapping, and moving text to the right margin. The new htm pages are all out of alighnment. I did open original file, but the invisible space between the last table and the next page still exists. I tried searching for invisible frames,. I tried Soft Page breaks . There must be something bizarre in the nested tables. Yet I have deleted the last three and then re-created the three tables brand new again, and still the problem occurs. SO I am going to start a part 2 in a new file, and hope I can continue. If you have any other suggestions about doing tables within tables, other than nesting, let me know. Thank you for your help.

Hi ?B?UG9yZ3k=?=,
You said Word 2003. Word 2003 definitely has an option to save as XML. I couldn't save it as XML, Word only allows HTM. So I did, and the dialogue box did inform me about some text wrapping, and moving text to the right margin. The new htm pages are all out of alighnment. I did open original file, but the invisible space between the last table and the next page still exists. I tried searching for invisible frames,. I tried Soft Page breaks .
