Table formatting problems in Word 2007
I have a large table (which it would be too much work to transfer to excel
because of formatting within cells) that is not formatting as I ask it to. History: The table (and I have multiple files like this) is set to A4 paper in landscape direction and runs from anywhere between 3 pages to 20 pages in length. The margins to hold all the columns (with font size at a minimum) are down to .25". The first page only of the doc has a large header taking up about 2" of space, with subsequent pages having a header of a single 12 font size line. In previous Word versions i could set the first row as the header row and have it reappear on subsequent pages. This is not working in Word 2007, even when I highlight the row in question and turn on the function in the table format/row options. To get around this, I tried to highlight the row in question and pasting it into the header of subsequent pages. What happened is the row at the top of the pages 2-N gets overlapped with the header. When I manipulate the gutter and or margins, i end up with a loss of half of the first page to the header, i.e. the gutter doesn't seem to be able to be manipulated for page 1 and different configuration for pages 2-N. I have also tried cutting and pasting the the table into a new document, in case any formating created in older Word versions was the problem. The problem is still there. Anyone have any suggestions? |

Table formatting problems in Word 2007
The Header Row for tables still work in Word 2007. This wasn't changed.
Check the Table Properties and make sure the Text Wrapping is set to "None". If it's set to "Around" then the heading row won't repeat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "frustrated worker" wrote in message ...
