Default How do I split a table over 2 pages?

I'm using Microsoft Word and when I am inputing the information into the
table, it just goes onto the next page and leaves a massive blank area on the
previous page. Does anyone know how to split the table so it an just continue
onto the next page without leaving massive blank areas?

Thanks for your help

In the table properties dialogue box, select the row tab and check the "Allow
row to break across pages" check box.

hope this helps,

I did this but now the table continues onto the next page as I wanted but
everything from the next page gets shifted onto the one after - even though
there is plenty of room for it.

Do you know if this can be solved or is it just the version of Word I am
using won't allow it?

Thanks

Click the ¶ symbol on the toolbar. Go to the bottom of the table. Do you have
a series of the symbols running down the page. If so start from the first
below the table and delete them leaving the last in place.

Or do you have a section break or hard page break at the bottom of the
table. If so delete this and see what happens.

Post back with the results.
