Table format problems
I was emailed a 30 page Word doc created with Word 2000. The entire doc is
made up of a 4X2 table on each page. There are a few pages with an 8X13 table within one of the tables which when I open up the doc, is not in the form of a table. It looks more like a list within the original table. There are some pages were the table extends past the bottom of the page and other pages where one row (4X1) table is present but I cannot sync to the bottom (4X1) table. I have tried "shrink to fit". I have tried multiple suggestions from Suzanne Barnhill's site but I am running out of ideas. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you can give. Terry |

Table format problems
If a table extends past the bottom of the page, it is wrapped. On the Table
tab of Table Properties, set text wrapping to None. Also, if you have nested tables and are opening the document in a version earlier than Word 2000, they will not convert properly. -- Suzanne S.

Table format problems
II did check that it was already set to none. Supposedly the document was
created in Word 2000. I'm using Word 2003. You would think it would be able to convert the nested tables. Also each page has a table that's used for a header (Titles) and I can only access 2 of the 30 headers. (This is not part of the Header/footer) One of the header tables sits on a page by itself and if I try to remove the cells, it deletes the remaining headers on the following pages. Any ideas on that?

Table format problems
Well, the latter problem sounds like you've got rows marked as heading rows
(which will repeat on each page) and the table rows all marked as "Keep with next" (when it's the heading rows that should be formatted this way) so that they're chasing each other to the next page. You may find this easier to sort out in Normal view, where you'll see the heading rows only once. If the table is running off the page, then even if it's not wrapped it must be in a frame or text box or something; otherwise it would break to the next page. -- Suzanne S.
