Sizing columns in a table with page breaks
Word 2003
I have a table in which I have inserted some manual page breaks (Ctrl-Enter) so that page breaks are forced at specific rows of my choosing. Some pages remain automatic page breaks, some are manual. I now find that when I adjust the width of a column in the table (e.g. by dragging the column border) it only changes the column width in the portion of the table from the previous manual page break to the next manual page break, not for the entire table. Is there some way to make the column width adjustment affect the entire table (both when dragging the column border and when entering a numerical value for the column width in the Table, Properties dialog)? Thanks, Fred Holmes I could remove and then re-insert the manual page breaks when adjusting column width, but that would be a pain. |

When you insert a manual page break, you are splitting the table. Although
you can format a row as "Page break before" without splitting the table, it's generally better (if possible) to control page breaks using "Keep with next."
