Table
I'm using Word 2000.
I have several tables in my document that others will be putting data into. I do not want my table to be split across 2 pages, I would prefer that if the table is too long for one page that the entire table move to the 2nd page; not just a portion of that table move to the 2nd page. I went to table/properties/row and I unchecked the box that states "allow row to break across pages". However when I test, the table still breaks across 2 pages. Is there something I'm missing? Thank you. |

The "Allow break..." check box just allows or prevents table rows from being
split across pages. In your case, select all table rows except the last one, and select "Keep with next" in the Format paragraph command. HTH //Claes "BDK" wrote: I'm using Word 2000.

You said:
" I would prefer that if the table is too long for one page that the entire table move to the 2nd page; not just a portion of that table move to the 2nd page." But... if the table is too big to fit on one page, it will be too big for the next as well! ;-) Aside from that, Word *will* break a table row if the row is too long to fit on a single page. Some older print drivers will just print the part of the row that fits on the page and then start the next new row on the next page, so you will lose text in the print out that's there on screen for all to see. If Word needs to break a table across a page break, best thing to do is let it do that.

I think BDK meant that the table is too long to fit into the remaining space
on the page, that is, too long for *the* page, not longer than *a* page. -- Suzanne S.
