Splitting tables and printing transparent gifs in Word

[Martin]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with two issues. I'm a long-time
user of Word (since Word 2 on 3.1) and have two issues that are
annoying me:

1. When I create tables towards the end of a page they will invariably
split the rows in some way, rather than just keeping the table
together. Does anyone know of an option to keep a table together and
not allow it to split? I've seen the option to stop rows themselves
from splitting, but I want to stop the whole table from splitting.

I noticed that there is an option in the compatibility to stop it from
happening but it doesn't seem to work in Word 2002.

2. In Word 2002 I inserted a GIF that I'd set to have a transparent
background using MS Paint. However, when printing the document the
resolution of the printed GIF is awful - it's a screen grab and the
text is not readable. However, when I convert the gif back to not
having a transparent background the image prints just fine! This is
obviously a bug but I wondered if anyone knows of a fix?

Thanks in advance,

Martin Kemp

Select every row EXCEPT the last. Go to FORMAT, PARAGRAPH, and check
"Keep with next" This will keep the entire table together unless the
table is longer than one page.
