Unwanted Page Breaks
Dear All,
I have a hooge document in which is a huge table. The table has rows. Most rows (and in particular the ones with which I am struggling) are small enough that several can fit on one page... ....but some won't. I have found Microsoft doc 233493 unwanted page breaks and http://www.officearticles.com/word/t...osoft_word.htm but none of the suggestions changes the effect. In particular the rows before and after the offending ones have no paragraph formatting ticked. The first row (of two) that I would like on the same page has keep with next ticked... ....but the next row stays on the next page, -- regards, Colin BC AD PC |

Unwanted Page Breaks
Dear Stefan,
thanks for the link but it doesn't help. My table is large and contains many rows of differing sizes over many pages, the link is referring to individual rows breaking (or not ) across a page boundary or keeping the whole table "together" (whatever that means). I have already cleared allow rows to break across pages, I have already cleared keep with next for rows out of the area I want to appear on one page. I have set keep with next for rows except for the last one I would like on the one page but they don't keep together. I have also set keep with next for the whole table as a trial but the rows I want to keep together don't even though there's plenty of room on the page, -- regards, Colin BC AD PC "colin smith" wrote: Dear All, I have a hooge document in which is a huge table.

Maybe have a look at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm. Note that this can be very tricky. Occasionally you can select an entire row and go to Format | Paragraph, and it will report that "Keep with next" is not checked, and yet one paragraph in one cell of the row actually will have that property set. You can also run into problems with vertically merged cells, though that should not be an issue if you are allowing rows to break. -- Suzanne S.

Dear Suzanne,
thanks for the link but it did not help. I have always selected whole rows when I have changed paragraph properties so I know all cells are the same. As far as I know (and I may not because the document is mature and has had many authors) there are no vertically merged cells. I am not allowing rows to break, although I have as a trial and it made no difference, -- regards, Colin BC AD PC "Suzanne S.
