Strange - Header Takes over entire page (body)
Hi -
I've seen posts on this, but no answer - they all end with "send me a snippet" but the result isn't posted. I have a document we're using for invoices. In the header, we have a field that will have the type of invoice. The body is a large table, to keep everything neat. When I put the table in, it mysteriously becomes part of the header. I've tried a new document, tried without anything in the actual header, yet as soon as I paste the table in, and view Header/Footer , the table is in the header. HELP!! This is SO very frustrating! Thanks - sara |

Strange - Header Takes over entire page (body)
Where are you pasting the table in from? If it was anchored to the header in
the source, it might be anchored to the header in the target, though I doubt that would be the case unless you had the header open for editing. Is it really part of the header (editable only if you open the header pane) or just floating in the header area? -- Suzanne S.

I can edit the table OUTside of the header - so maybe it is just floating in the header area (though I don't really know what that means). When I start (like if I copy and try to make a new document) the header starts small, but once I copy the table in, it grows. I didn't create this doc - I am editing it. I don't know what "anchor" means. But I do see a little "+" that, though challenging, I can grab and move the entire table. Does this help unravel the mystery? thanks - Sara |

What you describe is the table handle. If you move the table with that
(sometimes if you just barely touch it), then it results in the table being "wrapped" (floating). Double-click on the table handle to open the Table Properties dialog (or, if this is Word 2007 or 2010, right-click in the table and choose Table Properties). On the Table tab, set the text wrapping to None, and you should find that the table behaves much better. FWIW, I find it vital to display nonprinting characters (paragraph marks, object anchors, and the like) and also text boundaries (which make it a lot clearer whether you're in the header/footer or the document body). Without these, I would find it much harder to troubleshoot a situation like this. -- Suzanne S.

Beyond paragraph marks and table gridlines (both of which I heartily
endorse) there is a "text boundaries" setting in Word's Display or View options, and I also find this indispensable. If you have text boundaries displayed, you'll see table cell boundaries in Print Layout view even if you don't have table gridlines displayed. You also see the outline of the document body (making it easy to distinguish between the body and the header/footer) and an outline of any text boxes (especially handy for troubleshooting empty text boxes that are causing problems), etc. -- Suzanne S.

Fixed it for me as well. Just to be clear: this text wrapping property is for text around the table (not text inside the table).
Thanks! |
