I do not want my table to break across a page randomly.
I have created a quite large table that is a series of inspection questions.
these questions are grouped with auditors comments and with a response section. I DO NOT want the group of 'question/comments/response' to break across a page. I want the page to break between the the groups. any help out there? |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm. The
trick is the judicious use of "Keep with next" (keeping in mind that it works only between rows). -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
thanks for the reply....i guess my table is such that i cant make it split at the groupings.. i have decided to split on each group.... is there a way to make the lines between the split table very very small??

If you really want to split the table, you can do that, formatting the
intervening paragraph to a very small font size/line spacing, but I don't see why you can't split the groups without splitting the table. If you format the first row in a section as "Page break before," it will start a new page without splitting the table. -- Suzanne S.

I do not want my table to break across a page randomly.
thanks again Suzanne...i guess maybe i am a bit dense but let me try to
restate my original thought... i have a table that is about 27 pages. It is for an inspection so it consists of section groups with three lines. line one is a question. line two is an auditors comment of a deficiency discovered. line three is the facility response to the auditors comment. I do not want the group of three lines (question, comment, response) to break across a page. I want the page breaks between the groups of three lines. I also do not want each question on a separate page. I think I have tried everything but I have confidence that you will know how to do it. Thanks in advance. bob "Suzanne S.

Okay, there are two ways to approach this:
1. Put each three-line section in a single row, and clear the check box for "Allow row to break across pages" for all rows. 2. Put each line in a separate row. Select the first two rows of each three-line section and format them as "Keep with next." This will keep each section together and force Word to break the table between sections. The easiest way to accomplish (2) is to have three distinct styles: Question, Comment, and Response. Question and Comment would be formatted as "Keep with next," while Response would not. -- Suzanne S.
