Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's heading
I inherited a document containing tables that occur immediately before
numbered sections. Word will not let me insert text after the table - when I press Shift+ENTER, the spike moves to the beginning of the next section's heading text, and any text I type is prepended to the existing heading text. For example, when I press Shift+ENTER at the location indicated below by the asterisk (outside Table 1's right margin and on the bottom row), the cursor jumps to the position indicated by the # sign, intead of starting a new line below the table. Any suggestions? Table 1: Table Name A B C D 3 2 1 0* 1.0 #NEW SECTION -- KenRK |

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's heading
Shft+Enter is entering a manual line break and not entering a new paragraph.
You are doing what is correct except the next step, which is to apply the style you want, not the one that Word automatically applies in this situation. So with your: 1.0 #New Section just apply the style you want, say Body Text and the new paragraph will miraculously return to below the table, so long as the style you apply does not have Page Break before, or Keep with Next as a paragraph setting. ;-) Hope this helps DeanH "Kwn" wrote: I inherited a document containing tables that occur immediately before numbered sections.

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's headin
Dean,
Thanks, I used part of what you said to solve my immediate problem. The next section heading was already there, with style "Heading 1" (p.s., which in this document does indeed have "Page Break before" AND "Keep with Next" as paragraph settings). What I did was press Shft+Enter, then apply the style "Body Text". The section title changed into body text and appeared below the table as you said, but the section heading disappeared of course. I still need the section heading, so I retyped that in and changed it's style to HEADING 1.0. So the problem is solved. Do you know if there's a way to do it without having to re-enter the section heading? Or is this just a Word quirk? -- KenRK "DeanH" wrote: Shft+Enter is entering a manual line break and not entering a new paragraph.

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's headin
Word has a default setting of inhereting the style from above unless the
style has been setup to have a "Style to follow" applied. What you are seeing is "normal" for Word. I am still worried about the use of Shft+Enter for a manual line break instead of Enter for a new paragraph especially immediately after a table. What you could have done is Entered twice, so you get two Heading 1s, go back to the first and apply the body text style. But as you appreciate, there are many ways of doing one job in Word ;-) Word has a built in Shortcut, Ctrl+Alt+1 to apply the Heading 1 style, also 2 for Heading 2, and 3 for Heading 3. Glad this worked for you. DeanH "Kwn" wrote: Dean, Thanks, I used part of what you said to solve my immediate problem.

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's headin
Great, thanks for the tip about entering the heading style with the
Ctrl+Alt+n keys. When I tried to just press Enter in my original scenario, all that happened was that it created a new blank row at the bottom of the table. Perhaps there is a way to change that one row from table to text.

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's headin
The use of Enter at the end of a row will automatically create a new table
row, this is default. But immediately after all table there will be a new paragraph, Word cannot do otherwise, so if you had gone down one more cursor you should be off the table and on the new paragraph. Are you saying that the table was at the end of the document with no other contect after it, or there was a new section heading immediately after the table? If there was nothing, there would always be a paragraph, if there was a new section heading after the table, I would have gone to the start of that "line", pressed enter and then gone back to the new heading and applied the body text style. To see exactly what is going on, you can show the non-printing characters which will show all the Paragraph mark (backwards P or Pilcrow) and manual line breaks (left-hooked-arrow). To toggle this view either press the Show/Hide icon on the standard toolbar, or press Ctrl+Shft+8, getting used to having these characters showing is a major step in understadning what is happening within documents and why "weird" things happen.

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's headin
There was a new section heading immediately after the table already when I
started. When I press enter at the end of the table, the new row is created as you said, and the cursor is positiopned in the first cell on the new row. No "Pilcrow" shows up with Show selected. If I press enter again, a new line and a Pilcrow appear in that cell of the table where the cursor is. If instead of pressing enter I press the down arrow, the cursor moves to the end of the bext section's heading text. -- KenRK "DeanH" wrote: The use of Enter at the end of a row will automatically create a new table row, this is default.

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's heading
I ran into this issue recently myself. I think the only way around it is to
create a new empty paragraph *above* the table, then cut and paste the table above that paragraph (don't drag the table, or you'll end up with it wrapped, and you'll have to go to Table Properties | Table and set the text wrapping back to None). Another method that works in Word 2003 (but may not in Word 2007, which may be where I had the problem) is to switch to Normal view, place the insertion point at the beginning (left end) of the section break, and press Enter, which *will* insert an empty paragraph above the break. Unlike page breaks, section breaks don't take on the formatting of the following paragraph, so much of what Dean has said is, I believe, irrelevant. -- Suzanne S.

I guess you're right. But in that case it should be a simple matter of
pressing Enter at the beginning of the heading (between the number and the heading) and then changing the style of the new paragraph to Normal. I think I misunderstood the question entirely; I believe KenRK didn't understand that the position between the number and the heading *is* the (effective) beginning of the paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

I think the only way around it is to create a new empty paragraph *above* the table, then cut and paste the table above that paragraph (don't drag the table, or you'll end up with it wrapped, and you'll have to go to Table Properties | Table and set the text wrapping back to None). Another method that works in Word 2003 (but may not in Word 2007, which may be where I had the problem) is to switch to Normal view, place the insertion point at the beginning (left end) of the section break, and press Enter, which *will* insert an empty paragraph above the break. Unlike page breaks, section breaks don't take on the formatting of the following paragraph, so much of what Dean has said is, I believe, irrelevant. -- Suzanne S.

Word will not let me insert text after the table - when I press Shift+ENTER, the spike moves to the beginning of the next section's heading text, and any text I type is prepended to the existing heading text. For example, when I press Shift+ENTER at the location indicated below by the asterisk (outside Table 1's right margin and on the bottom row), the cursor jumps to the position indicated by the # sign, intead of starting a new line below the table. Any suggestions? Table 1: Table Name A B C D 3 2 1 0* 1.0 #NEW SECTION -- KenRK |

Trying to insert text after table upsets next SECTION's headin
Also, when you get near the end of a large and complicated document,
if you're in Print view Word wants to repaginate after nearly every keystroke. In Normal (now "Draft") view, it doesn't repaginate. On Sep 11, 12:51*pm, "Suzanne S.
