Table breaks unexpectedly across pages
Hello everyone,
I'm having a really annoying problem with a table in my Word document. This table breaks after two rows, leaving a huge blank and starting again on the next page. The row on this next page could easily fit on the previous page; in fact, almost all subsequent rows would fit. I've noticed that the following things seem to affect this behavior: -bulleted lists in cells -font size -number of cells after the break The table is 2 columns wide, with a term in bold on the left, and a piece of text (one or two regular-sized paragraphs, sometimes with a bulleted list) on the right. This is not fixed by the "break table across pages" option in Word, nor by dragging the edges of cells. Does anyone have a clue as to how I might fix this? Sincerely, Mathijs. |

Check the formatting of the pargraph in the first column of the row that
appears on the following page. It may be formatted to have a pagebreak before it. -- Hope this helps.
