Default word problem

Hi,

I am writing in a table and the table won't transfer to the next page. So my
text disappears because the table goes right to the end of the page. Can
someone help me?

If you have dragged the table to move it (or even inadvertently nudged the
table handle), it may have become wrapped. On the Table tab of Table
Properties, make sure that text wrapping is set to None.

This is a symptom of having a "floating" table, which can happen accidentally if
you drag the little square button that shows at the upper left corner of the
table.

To fix it, click Table Table Properties (or in Word 2007, this is at Table
Tools Layout Properties). Under "Text wrapping", click the None button and
click OK.
