Tables - Word2002
Ok, so I have a table: a long one that starts right at the top of the page.
Now I am trying to write something ABOVE the table and there is no way I can force the thing down! Help... |

Hi Peter,
Assuming the table is at the start of your document, Press Ctrl-Home to get to position the cursor before the first character, then press the Enter key. This will insert a new paragraph before the table. Cheers "Peter" wrote in message ... Ok, so I have a table: a long one that starts right at the top of the page.

And if that doesn't work, use Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

Enter works in every version from Word 6.0 forward.

No, Enter alone does not always work. I see documents all the time that
start with a table on page 1 and for one reason or another, pressing Enter will not, under any circumstance, add a para before the table. You can press it till the cows come home and all you'll get is a lot of paras in cell 1. Therefore, I showed him how to force it if necessary. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

It works if you are at the very top of the table, which is why pressing
Ctrl+Home is suggested. -- Suzanne S.
