Problems pasting text into a table
Word 2007. I have a single page A4 portrait document constructed as follows:
at the top, text that goes from one side of the page to the other. I then have a section break, with a table consisting of three columns and one row. What I need to be able to do is to type or paste text and/or small graphics etc into each column, BUT I do NOT want the text to either wrap into the next column, OR, create an extension to the column on the next page. In other words, I want what is put into each column to use the available space, and not to create new space - a fixed column size. The document can ONLY be one page long. I have tried all the options I can see in Table Properties, but can't seem to fix this. is it possible even? |

I think I may have fixed it - I created a new document and set the height of the row in the table to be an exact measurement in Table Properties....we shall see.... :-) |

Problems pasting text into a table
I understand everything but the section break. Is that left over from an
earlier experiment with snaking columns? It's certainly not needed just for a ordinary text followed by a table. -- Suzanne S.

I originally put the section in because I wanted two different types of formatting on then same sheet: no columns and columns. However, I discovered that the answer is indeed to use tables, and then to set the height of the row to be an exact measurement - that stops the row elongating itself onto the next page when text is inserted! |

That's what I suspected. You can now remove the section break, as it is no
longer needed, and it will just make your document needlessly complex. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S.
