Joining table sections
Here's my issue ... I have a document that's a large table. There are
paragraphs that separate some rows of the table from others, but I cannot figure out why and have been unsuccessful in deleting those paragraph marks. I've researched this on this website and have tried all the tips previously posted, so now I think my best bet is to copy and paste the sections into a new document unless someone has other tips that will allow me to continue with the current document as that would be easiest. Thanks for the assistance. C |

Joining table sections
How are you trying to delete them? Note that you will be unable to get table
sections to join if any part of the table has become wrapped. On the Table tab of Table Properties for each portion, make sure that "Text wrapping" is set to None. -- Suzanne S.

Just checked and all the Table Wrapping is turned off, so that's not the
problem. Tis a puzzlement. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: How are you trying to delete them? Note that you will be unable to get table sections to join if any part of the table has become wrapped.

Make sure none of the rows in the second table is formatted as a heading
row. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "CMEknit" wrote in message ...

None of the rows in the second table are formatted as a heading row. In
fact, the heading rows disappear in the second table. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Make sure none of the rows in the second table is formatted as a heading row. -- Suzanne S.

No, the heading rows won't repeat in the second table because it's not part
of the first table. I assume you don't have Track Changes enabled? If you did, you'd need to turn it off and accept the changes. At this point, I have nothing else to suggest. I had a similar situation once in which there was really just no explanation for why the stupid tables wouldn't join (in my case, I was able to delete the intervening paragraph, but the tables still wouldn't become one). If push comes to shove, you may just have to create new rows in the first table and move or copy the content of the second table into them. I wish I could be more helpful. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks so much, Suzanne. I really appreciate your help. It's nice to have
someone else confirm that sometimes things just defy explanation. I'll try expanding the first table and copying the content there. "Suzanne S.

Joining table sections
Hi CMEknit,
Another issue that can prevent the tables from joining is if their alignment or width differs. So check that they're all aligned the same (eg left aligned with 0 indent), not formatted with 'preferred width' and that the sum of the column widths is the same. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "CMEknit" wrote in message ...
