Hi There,

I have a Word doc (obviously) that I am working on. I have created a table
that has many rows and is 3 column wide. The problem that I have is that the
text that I type disappears off the bottom of the page and does not reappear
on the next page. How do you allow for cells to span multiple pages?

Thanks!

That symptom usually indicates that the table is "floating" instead of
"in-line".

Go to Table Table Properties, click the None button in the Text Wrapping
section, and click OK. That should cure it.

There's a row property "Allow row to break across pages" that determines
whether a single row can be split over 2 pages. If off, the entire row
will be moved to the next page as needed. However, if your text is
actually disappearing, it suggests that something odd is going on.
