Keeping table together in merged directory
I've set up a membership application using a table and merging names in a
mail merge directory. The merged document splits the last table on the page across the page. How can I get the merged document to not split the results of the merge across pages? Thanks |

Keeping table together in merged directory
I guess you mean the last row of the table being split rather than the last
table. In the mailmerge main document, from the Tables menu, select Properties and then go to the Row tab of the Table Properties dialog and uncheck the "Allow row to break across pages" box. -- Hope this helps.

Keeping table together in merged directory
No, the table splits anywhere, not just the last row.
Yes, I tried unchecking the "Allow row..." No effect. The same problem occurs when I don't use a table. I want to make sure an entire directory entry is kept together (table or not) "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: I guess you mean the last row of the table being split rather than the last table.

Keeping table together in merged directory
I am not quite sure what you mean by a directory entry, but if it is
something like what would appear on an address label (i.e. multiline), instead of using paragraph returns at the end of each line, use Shift+Enter to insert a line break and then format the paragraph that forms the entry so that the Lines are kept together. -- Hope this helps.

Keeping table together in merged directory
Thanks for the tip using Shift-enter for multi-line results.
"Directory Entry" In mail merge it's the last selection in "Select Document Type" e.g. I want more than one entry per page Reset: I've used a table to replicate a membership appplication form and then successfully merged names of our volunteers. My problem is I can't seem to keep the table together in the merged doc. In the source documnt, I've tried "Keeping paragraph together" and 'Don't allow row to break" No success. If I don't use a table for the membership form, I don't see how to keep all the merged results looking exaclty the same. e.g. Name: My New Member Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx Address: 12345 Some Street City: South Daytona Beach St: FL Zip: 32127 "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: I am not quite sure what you mean by a directory entry, but if it is something like what would appear on an address label (i.e. multiline), instead of using paragraph returns at the end of each line, use Shift+Enter to insert a line break and then format the paragraph that forms the entry so that the Lines are kept together. -- Hope this helps.

Keeping table together in merged directory
If the table won't fit on the page as you have it now formatted, you will
either have to reduce the margins or reduce the size of the font. Nothing you do in the source document is going to have any impact. It is in the mailmerge main document that you must pay attention to the formatting. -- Hope this helps.
