I am using Word 2003 and i have created a table. However when I get to the
bottom of the page the text does not carry one to the next page but just
disappears? How can i stop this?
Please help as I am a teacher and when I print I cannot see all my planning

The most likely explanation is that you are working in Print Layout view and
have inadvertently nudged the table handle, which causes the table to become
wrapped. Go to Table Properties, Table tab, and set the text wrapping to
None.

Thanks Suzanne, sadly that didn`t work. I changed the print laout to normal
and the text is there but when I go to print it prints as if it is off the
bottom of the page.
I can continue to type in the box but the words just disappear. I fyou have
any more ideas it would be much appreciated.

I assure you that this is a symptom of the table being wrapped. Did you
change the wrapping to None on the Table tab of Table Properties? The other
possibility is that you need to go to Format | Columns and click on the
preset picture for One (even if 1 column is already selected).

Hi again

Firstly big thanks for your help, I selected all the table and clicked on
the wrapping and it says none, sadly this did not change anything. Also tried
your second suggestion but still not. Not sure what it could be?

Phillip, Check the properties of the row that the text is disappearing from.
If "Allow row to break across pages" is unchecked, you will only see the text
that fits on one page--the rest seems to disappear (but you WILL see it in
normal view, just not page view nor will it print). If the box is unchecked,
then simply check the box and you should then see the text on multiple pages.


To check/modify the properties of just that row, select the row and go to:
Table -- Table Properties

To modify for the entire table, select the entire table and go to:
Table -- Table Properties

If that doesn't fix it, then I don't know either!
