How float a table?
I have a table that I want to appear at the point where it's defined, if it will
fit on the current page, and at the top of the next page, if it won't fit on the current page. Word seems to do that by default, which is fine, but if the table must be moved to the next page, I want the following text to appear on the preceding page. This way, there are no large expanses of blank space on a page preceding a table. I also want this to be automatic, so if I move the text referring to the table (and which immediately precedes the table), the table will automatically be moved, too. I've googled around for how to do this, but all solutions seem to require manual placement of the table (e.g., by putting it in a text box or frame, then manually placing the text box or frame). Is there no way to have Word float tables automatically? I'm using Word 2002. Thanks, Scott |

How float a table?
Hi Scott,
Your Googling found the right answer -- there is no automatic way to have text flow back to the previous page when a table, or a text box or any floating graphic, moves forward. -- 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.
