Table breaks accross two pages - even though it is instructed not
Word 2003
My tables are small - 5x9. They don't take more than a half of the page. As I type the text in the document, the table eventually decides to move one (or more) rows on the next page. This is happening even though the document is instructed not to do so: Table - Table Properties - Row - (deselected) Allow row to break across pages What am I missing here? How to force table not to break the stuff over the page break? thanks ... |

Suzanne,
that is it. Without this help, I would never be able to resolve this issue - never! The Word available options for configuring Table behaviour is not intutitive at all. This is the part of your document that resolved the problem. So to keep a table in one piece, select the entire table, clear this check box; then select every row in the table except the last, and check the box for €śKeep with next€ť on the Line and Page Breaks tab of Format Paragraph.

Table breaks accross two pages - even though it is instructed
This is a poor solution. It may work fine for tables with a fixed number of
rows. But when you have a table tied to a database, the number of lines can vary when you refresh. If the the number of rows increases after an update, the new rows adopt the formatting on the last line, which does not have the "Keep With Next" tag. If the number of rows decrease after a database update, the formatting on the unique last row is lost and all take on the "Keep With Next" tag. My suggestion is that tables need their own special set of formatting commands, so that it is a bit more intuitive and so that it works properly without extra intervention for users that try to link to databases (a very powerful feature BTW). |
