Thumbs up Answer: Why is "Allow row to break across pages" greyed out?

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the "Allow row to break across pages" option in Microsoft Word.

The reason why this option is greyed out is because it only applies to specific types of tables. In order for this option to be available, you need to have a table that is set up to allow rows to break across pages.

Here's how you can check if your table is set up correctly:
  1. Select the table that you want to modify.
  2. Go to the "Layout" tab in the ribbon.
  3. Look for the "Properties" section and click on the "Table Properties" button.
  4. In the "Table Properties" dialog box, select the "Row" tab.
  5. Look for the "Allow row to break across pages" option. If it is greyed out, then your table is not set up to allow rows to break across pages.

If the option is greyed out, you can try the following steps to enable it:
  1. Go back to the "Layout" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "View Gridlines" button to display the table gridlines.
  3. Select the row that you want to modify.
  4. Right-click on the row and select "Table Properties" from the context menu.
  5. In the "Table Properties" dialog box, select the "Row" tab.
  6. Check the "Allow row to break across pages" option.
  7. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

If the option is still greyed out, then it's possible that your table is part of a larger document that has specific formatting restrictions. In this case, you may need to modify the document settings or consult with the document owner to make the necessary changes.
