Cells that run on to another page
I have inherited a Word table. The previous user copied
and pasted a heading onto each page. I wanted to remove the duplicate heading on each page and make it a header row in the table. I hoped that would save me the time of having to adjust my cells at the bottom of each page (cells that ran over to the next page). I am discovering that the cells are still reacting the same way and, if I put a page break in to keep text in a cell together, I lose my heading on that page. Other than inserting extra carriage returns (which may not be needed the next time I modify my table), how can I make sure that all the text in a particular cell stays together on one page? Thank you. -Abby |

Abby,
1. To keep a row in a table from appearing on two pages, place the insertion point anywhere within a cell in that row, click Table, click Table Properties, click the Row tab, uncheck/clear the Allow row to break across pages check box 2. To repeat table headers at the top of each page, place the insertion point in the top row of the table, which should contain your header (you can select more than one contiguous row if you wish but the selection must include the first row) and click Heading Rows Repeat on the Table menu 3. Word automatically repeats table headers on new pages that result from automatic page breaks; Word does not repeat a header if you insert a manual page break or any kind of section break within a table; this splits the table into two tables; repeated table headers are visible only in print layout view or when you print the document Jon ------------------ "Abby" wrote in message ...

Thank you, Jon. The wealth of information available
through Microsoft Newsgroups is invaluable. Thanks again! -Abby -----Original Message----- Abby, 1.

Hi Abby,
Highlight the entire table, click on "Table" on your toolbar, then "Table Properties", "Row", uncheck "Allow Row to Break Across Pages". I hope this helps |
