Keeping (HTML) tables together.
I have an application which exports its data in HTML, in multiple
sections, each containing a header, then a table. If necessary, the header and table could be contained in a simple container table, so each section is in one table. Will WORD try to keep these tables from splitting at page boundaries when the document is printed? Is there anything extra that I could add to the exported HTML to prevent the tables from splitting? -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |

Hello Swifty

If necessary, the header and table could be contained in a simple container table, so each section is in one table. just to make sure up front: you are aware of the differences between Header and Heading in Word, and that "Section" has a very particular meaning in this application, right? Will WORD try to keep these tables from splitting at page boundaries when the document is printed? Is there anything extra that I could add to the exported HTML to prevent the tables from splitting? If you have really Word sections here, then you can tell each section to automatically start on a new page. Then, if any table is longer than a page, Word naturally has to split it. But if you can guarantee that tables are shorter, that'd be the ideal solution. BTW, if you have headings and not headers here, you don't really need sections at all only for this task. You can simply assign a special paragraph property to your heading style that forces a "Page break before." In your boots, I'd setup a short Word document in the way you want it and save it to (filtered) HTML. Then look at what Word does with sections and/or "Page break before" properties.
