table breaking
I'm a course developer using a 3 column table to organize information in a
word document. Is it possible to get the word table to break automatically when it reaches the end of the page set-up? |

Hi Bettina-
Not exactly sure what you mean, but the default for a Word table is that it _does_ continue onto the next page automatically. If any cell in the last row has more than one line of content the entire row is allowed to split if there is a check in the box in TableTable Properties--Row. If you remove the check the entire row moves to the top of the next page. Perhaps this is the issue? OTOH, you may want the continuation of the table actually to be a _separate_ table. If so, while in the first row on the new page, go to TableSplit Table. I don't know of a simple setting to make this the default, but I've never looked. I typically allow longer tables to run as necessary unless I want to split them in a particular spot to balance pages or the like.

Problem solved. Seems to have been in the heading row. Was causing table to
not split from page to page. Very strange. Thanks for the row reminder...I have made sure this is correct also.
