Default Inserted table won't allow changes

WD2003. Two docs: A is a long formatted thing with paragraph numbering, B is
a six-page table.
- Added a section break at the end of A to change page orientation to
landscape
- copied and pasted B's table (or ...)
- Insert File the table file as various formats
The result is a table that is stapled onto a single page in Print Layout
view, the top lined up with the top of the correct page of the receiving
file, but not lined up below the header, and it extends far off the bottom of
that page instead of breaking for page breaks. I can see it all in Normal
view.

That's the problem when I put them together by inserting the table file B
into A, but I have succeeded in doing it the other way around, but then I
lose all the paragraph numbering from A although it kept the headers and
footers.

Please would someone tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I may start
feeling competent again?

Try this: With the cursor in the table of the combined document, go to
Table Options Table tab, and under text wrapping, choose none. (The
W2003 directions are from memory, so the "labels" may be wrong. )

Thank you for this pointer. It led me to Table Properties Cell tab
Options button Wrap text, but it made no difference, sadly. I feel it
should have something to do with page setup, as the whole table is there and
may be seen under Normal view, just not in Page Layout View. It prints the
same as it looks too.

This is not the type of wrapping that is in question. Pam's advice was to
make sure that the "None" box is checked on the TABLE tab of Table
Properties.

Thank you both for your advice and the speed with which you offered it.

I had looked but did not see, and responded to Pam. Then I looked again and
saw the huge icon looking back at me, exactly where you said it was but have
not responded until now because of computer access issues. It was exactly
what I needed and it fixed the problem. As always in these little exchanges,
I also learn more.

Thanks again

Jonathan
