Word table entries generating inappropriate automatic page breaks
I'm using Word 2003 tables as an address book. Each letter of the alphabet is
a separate table. All tables have identical properties. It was working fine, and still is, except for some entries in the letter L. Several entries are triggering a premature automatic page break (I can see the break in Normal view). The first two pages worth of entries break correctly. Then, in one instance, half the page after a break is blank. In another instance, more than 2/3 of the page after a break is blank. I've tried looking at the table properties, paragraph properties in the cells, looking for formatting differences in the rows, even searching for Page Break Before tags in the entire document, but I haven't been able to figure out or fix what's happening. Any ideas? |

Word table entries generating inappropriate automatic page breaks
Best guess is that too many rows are formatted as "Keep with next."

No. I had already checked that. As a double-check, I just did a Search for
all instances of the Keep With Next format tag, beginning with the first entry in the letter L. There are only a few. They are used correctly, and they are not used in the questionable rows, or before or after those rows. I'm pretty sure I've checked all the obvious possibilities. I've also searched the Microsoft discussion forums and done Google searches for anything relevant to my problem. Whatever I'm looking for is not obvious.

Suzanne, I owe you an apology. You were indeed correct. I tried removing
those few "Keep With Next" tags that I assumed were inoffensive--which is what I should have done before I replied to your post. I couldn't see why they should have had an effect, so I assumed . . . I am reminded now of what happens when one assumes (now THAT should have been obvious). I don't understand why these things affected pagination where they were placed, but removing them fixes the problem. Sorry for replying without verifying first.

Well, you just never know, do you?
