Big row table doesn't span across pages but lenghtens the current
Hi,
I'm trying to sort out a problem that's driving me crazy. Something gone wrong with some documents at my company and I have to understand what happened in order to avoid any future issues. In these documents I have a table with just one big row and two columns. The left column contains a long text and the right column contains its translation in another language, so I expect this big single row to span across several pages. And, usually, it does. We have to use tables like this because Word does not allow "parallel" columns. And now some of these documents behave this way: if I type text in a column, the column does not span on a new page but it lengthens the current page at will. If you are typing in draft mode, it's hard to notice that, but if you print the page or switch to print view, you can see the text "sinking" at the bottom of the first page, below the bottom margin... and all the text below this margin is gone, until you switch back to the draft view. What I checked by myself (I'm using the Italian version of Word, so I also have some troubles to translate and understand the hints I'm founding around the web): - page size is A4 - row table option "Allow row to break across pages" is selected. - paragraph options €śKeep with next€ť, €śKeep lines together" and €śWidow/Orphan control" are all unselected - table in not in a hidden frame (according to this page: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm) This behaviour as been verified with Word 2007 and also is occurring with previous versions of Word. These documents are always saved in .doc binary format and edited by many users with different versions of Word, ..... Before giving up and ascribe this behaviour to some unidentified document corruption, I'm posting this question here and see if I can have some useful suggestions from you wise guys. Thanks! |
