gap at bease of midle page in many paged table
I am making a multi-page table by cutting an pasting table
data from many tables. It worked fine for many pages. Then on pasting in a new set of table rows it jumped to start a new page leaving 2 inches at the bottom of the page where I pasted and starting at the top of the next page. I can see no reason for this in the table properties or format paragraph sections. Puting keep together in paragraph formatting after highlighting all except bottom row does nothing. I can add new blank rows at the bottom of the truncated section so the leave space "command" seems to be part of the new imported rows. I can copy and paste the top row from the added section into a new blank row at the end of the first section, but more than one causes the gap to reappear. How can I get the rows to join up and close th gap at the base of this mid page? Thanks |

If you have a lot of rows formatted as "Keep with next," they will jump as a
block to the next page. -- Suzanne S.

gap at bease of midle page in many paged table
Let's make it a bit more challenging Suzanne. It doesn't
solve my problem. I have a similar table - multiple cells, but not the same size. I have a single cell on the left which goes across 3 pages. Then the 2nd column has custom cells, so that there is some control over the information in the 2nd column. However, the 2nd column causes a "short" page break on one page and text in the 2nd column cell on the next page to disappear underneath the footer. If I put a break in, it works for that cell but it inserts a break higher up in the wrong place! Nasty. :-0 -----Original Message----- If you have a lot of rows formatted as "Keep with next," they will jump as a block to the next page. -- Suzanne S.

Whenever you merge cells vertically, all bets are off! Word does the best it
can, but sometimes it loses the battle. -- Suzanne S.
