Thanks for your explanation..now I understand. Shame Word isn't smarter!
"Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?QWw=?=, Word doesn't really know how tall a table cell is; there's no way to get back a cell or row height using programming code if the cell hasn't been assigned an exact height. What Word does is lay out things on the fly; right-to-left, top-to-bottom. And as soon as a table cell breaks to the next page, it has no way of knowing how tall the cell is, in total. Only the available space on the current page for that cell. So Word can't do what you envision. If I select a "centre vertically" alignment in a cell, then I would expect the text to be centred vertically in the cell. Simple! As it is at the moment it becomes vertically centred only in that part of the cell that remains above the break. (It's only 1 cell after all, so why not have the vertical centre-ing at the "half-way height?") Let's put some "numbers" by way of example, and to try to avoid further confusion. Say my row is 10 cm deep resulting from the content in column "A": if by breaking the row across the page, if I then get 4 cm above the break and 6 cm below, then "centre vertically" in a cell in column "B" places the single word that I have in this cell at the 2cm level above the break, whereas the centre of the cell is actually half of ten, i.e. 5 cm, and therefore it should be 1cm below the break!)
