Anchoring Tables to a page
Each of my tables in the text of the document has to be on
its own page with not always a full page of text before and after the table (which is usually about 1/2 page in size itself). Is there any formatting technique I can use when I am going through the document to make the tables always stay on the page by themselves and the text shift around accordingly before and after the tables? The way the tables are set up now (I have inserted hard returns etc.), any time I make a change to the text, the tables shift and they don't always stay on a page by themselves. Once upon a time when I worked with WordPerfect there was a feature for anchoring a graphic to a page after the anchor mark. I cannot find anything similar in Word and frames do not exist anymore. Thank you Deborah

Use a specific style for the heading row and include the "Page break before"
property in that style. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you - this solves the table starting a new page,
however it does not frame it. Therefore, the text following the table still needs a page break forced. If I add any text previous to the table, and it gets to more then 1 page, it should continue to wrap after the table, not force the table to the next page yet again. In other words, the table needs to be anchored to the previous heading...if that makes sense.

There is no way to make a wrapped object take up an entire page. It has to
be anchored to text on the page. -- Suzanne S.
