insert a table bwtween a series of tables
I am working on a series of tables someone created in Word 2000. These tables
are seen connected end-to-end, running through 10 pages, but each table is independent. That means I can select just one table and delete it if I want. However, it does not allow me to insert a new table. What I inserted bwteen these tables becomes just a part of one of the tables already exist. If I use the "split table" after I insert some blank rows, the command ends up with a page break, with the new table on the next page. But I want an independent tabel to be inserted between the series of tables, running continuously over the pages. How could I do that? |

Turn on the display of paragraph marks (Click the Show/Hide button). You'll
see that there is a blank paragraph (possible set very tiny) between each table. To get the inserted table in between two tables you'll need to insert one extra paragraph, and insert the new table between the two. The page breaking is probably caused by having rows set not to split across pages. Why not copy one of the tables that is working, edit it down to a couple of blank rows, and save that as an AutoText (you could include the extra blank paragraph). Then you should be able to add a matching table by inserting the AutoText. (You can customize you toolbars to add a button to make it really easy). -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Series of tables" Series of wrote in message ...
