I have a document with many tables. Some of them want to lock into a
position on the page and won't flow with the text, while others will. In those that will flow, the position button is grayed out in the table properties, but it is active in those that won't flow with the text. I have the vertical position set to 0" relative to the paragraph and the option to move with text, but it still wants to be on the next page from where I want it. See attached image. In the paragraph settings for the text, the line and page breaks are unchecked. How do I get the table to flow once it has been set to position? Do I need to redo my table and delete the original?

Hi Brad,
What you should have noticed is that for the tables that don't flow, the text wrapping (the two big buttons to the left of the Positioning button) is set to Around. The ones that do flow are set to None, which is what all of your tables should be set to for the effect you want. It's easy to give a table Around wrapping inadvertently by dragging the table handle (the little box off the northwest corner of the table). It then behaves the same way as a floating picture. The way to turn that off is to click the None button in the Table Properties dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thank you. I over looked that item. My problem was that and a combination
of the paragraph settings. I had the last row in the second table and the line below the second table cleared in the line and page breaks, but it did not move until I cleared the line before the second table, second and third tables, the line between the second and third tables, and the line after the third table. I don't know what that cleared out since I would have normally expect the when I uncheck the "keep with next" that the tables would have separated between the second and third table, but it did not. Could that be because I created the third table by splitting it from the second table? Brad Excel 2002 on XP Pro SP 3 Excel 2007 on Vista 64 "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
