Multipage tables
Thanks.
Using W2007. It didn't take as long as I thought to select all the rows. I'd had trouble selecting the entire table & still getting the "table properties" menu choice. I *think* I've got that figured out now too After selecting all the rows, I don't see a "properties" choice on the table layout ribbon you mention but was able to get to the table properties on the right-click menu. What am I missing? Oh -- it's in the "Layout" tab of Table Tools, I'd missed it when just looking at Design. I just don't think "rightly" when it comes to how MS thinks I ought to for finding things. sigh bj "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Multipage tables
I am using Word 2007, and wish to prevent rows breaking in every table in a
document. Trouble is, if I select the entire document, I cannot get to the Table Properties button. Must I adjust the properties of each table individually? "bjm" wrote: Thanks. Using W2007.

Multipage tables
You can use a macro:
Sub AllTables_NoBreak() Dim oTable As Table For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables oTable.Rows.AllowBreakAcrossPages = False Next oTable MsgBox "Finished." End Sub If you need help on installing a macro, see: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/CreateAMacro.htm -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "MaxJP" wrote: I am using Word 2007, and wish to prevent rows breaking in every table in a document.
