Table Spill

[K]

Hello

How may I prevent a table from breaking up across pages. I've tried
adjusting the Rows property (not to spill across pages), or treat the
table as a paragraph (keep with next) but they don't work.

Appreciate any ideas. Thanks
K

Thank you very much for your response.
I have followed your recommendations exactly (several times) but my
table still breaks up. This is an original Excel table. I've tried it on
other tables, with same results. Very strange.

Appreciate any ideas .Thanks

Is the table too large to fit on one page?

Thank you

The tables are small - ranging fom 5 rows to 20. I select the table and
make sure that "allow row to break across pages" is unchecked. I then
select all the rows but the last one and format paragraph to "keep with
next" . Everything else is unchecked.

I should mention that I'm moving this table from another Word document
which has the problem that the entire document gets squashed onto one
page when I select View Print instead View Normal. I am transferring
each paragraph and table separately into the new document. Everything
looks fine except the table problem.

Thanks again
K

Thanks for your support

Do you have plain text paragraphs between the tables? If not, they'll all be
stuck together and will function as a single table.

Sorry to join this thread but I am also having a simular
problem.
I have a table near to the bottom of a page it has two
rows after the first row is a section break so that when
i protect the document i can protect the first row but
allow people to type into the second row.

As you type into the second row and it spilss onto the
next page instead of just the text which cause the second
page to appear being on the second page it moves all the
second row leaving a gap.

I have tried all the above to keep the first and second
rows together to no avail, I am also aware that when you
insert a section break in a table it is looked at as two
seperate tables and help to stop this would be grateful.
Cheers Paul

If the section break is Continuous and you have set the heading row to "Keep
with next," I don't know what else to suggest. But why not just put form
fields in the second and third rows to allow people to type in them, then
protect the whole thing?
