Table Break Help
I have a table made up of several sections. When one of the sections has a
long amount of text, the file is breaking to keep the section in tact. This means I get one small section on one page, the next two small sectons on one page and the long section on a third page. I would like the table to break as it fills up a page, not as it is, which is keeping the section in tact on the page. How do I change the settings (and where do I go to do it) so that I get each page to be full and the break is in the table section? Thanks |

I think by Table "section" you mean what is normally called a Row? If so,
you need to use Table Properties to set the Row to break over pages.

Margaret:
It was close - but not quite there. I am still getting the break between sections of the document. It is keeping each section in tact - leaving me wide open blank spaces on the preceding page. Is it possible to get the page break in the middle of the section? I tried ctrl+enter, but that did not work either.

Are your rows set to allow page breaks? See Table Properties | Row tab.
