Table pagination bug?
I have Word 2003 with all the latest patches. In a
document with a table and a lot of rows (approx 88), on occasion, inserting a new row will force page 1 to have only the table headings and no rows. The first row will appear on the second page. It doesn't matter if I check the "Allow row to break across pages" for all rows or not. Nothing I've tried solves the problem. Eventually, adding more rows will force one row to appear on page 1, and then two rows, etc. It may eventually fill page 1 or it may force all rows to page 2 again. I cannot see a consistent pattern. Has anyone else experienced this problem? |

Hi Dave
Do you have 'keep with next' set on the paragraphs? -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org/word "Dave" wrote in message ...

-----Original Message----- Hi Dave Margaret, Thank you for the prompt reply. I'll try that - what exactly does it do? How do "paragraphs" relate to table rows? It does not seem very intuitive.

Hi Dave Margaret, Thank you for the prompt reply. I'll try that - what exactly does it do? How do "paragraphs" relate to table rows? It does not seem very intuitive. Dave You expect Word to be *intuitive*? giggle Sorry, couldn't help myself. Word is many things, but intuitive is *way* down at the bottom of the list. Seriously, all the formatting that applies to a paragraph doesn't just magically vanish when you put that paragraph into a table. It's usually a good idea to create a style called something like "Table Text" that doesn't have 'keep with next' associated with it. Table styles usually have their margins & "leading" (the spaces above & below the paragraph) set differently from ordinary body text. Do read the FAQs about the dangers of basing new styles on the Normal style, though. |
