Macro Hangs When Table Row Crosses Page Boundary

[Barry]

Greetings:

I have a set of macros which walks through the active document, inserting
ActiveX control objects into table cells based on keword commands placed in
the cell by the user. The macro works as expected, unless table row in which
the command resides crosses a page boundary. If a page boundary ias crossed,
the macro hangs with a message saying that the application which creates the
control is missing.


This is not a problem when creating new documents, as I can ensure that
table rows fit on a single page. But we have a large archive of existing
documents with table rows which are larger than a single page. The time
necessary to reformat these legacy documents is prohibitive.

Has anyone else had problems working with table rows that cross page
boundaries? If so, did you find away to eliminate or work around the problem?

Thans in advance for any heop provided.

Does the problem still occur if the view is set to Normal (or in Word 2007 -
Draft view)?

Another thing that you could do is include code in the macro to set the rows
of the table so that they did not break across pages.
