Follow up to Space b/w Tables
Part of the problem seems to be that I can't get my cursor our of the
preceding table. With enter, it lengthens the row height. Sometimes the cursor hugs the outside border of the table. But I can't get the cursor to move past the table into the large empty space at the bottom of the page. By the way the cursor is not a normal one, it has a small square of little lines next to it. The only time the cursor acts normally if i proceed to the next page. But then again, there is some sort of invisible barrier and whenever I type something, the paragraph skips down a few inches. The table I have been using is bascially a two row table with nested table inside each row. Then copied the larger table over and over. Everything worked until now. Any suggestions. Thanks |

The cursor sounds as if it might be the Click and Type cursor. Try disabling
Click and Type on the Edit tab of Tools | Options. And display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) so that you can see the paragraph following the table in order to click in it. If you have a large empty space at the bottom of a page, it's generally because Word has inserted a soft page break, and that is probably because whatever has moved to the next page is being stuck together with "Keep with next" or similar commands.
