MS Word 2000 is page-breaking my table in ways that I don't want.
I'm using a two-coulmn table that spans several pages. In each row, the left
column contains a word or two, while on the right is a fairly big body of
text (which may include bulleted lists and so on).
My problem is that even though "Allow row to break across pages" is on
(Table > Table Properties), MS Word doesn't always do that. Rather, it fills
half of a page with one row, then starts the new row on a new page. I can't
find a way to fix this.
You can easily reproduce this behavior as follows:
-Create a new Word document.
-Select Table > Insert > Table
-Make a table of 2 columns, 3 rows.
-Write a short word in each left cell, and a lorem ipsum sample (I used the
one on www.loremipsum.net) in each right cell.
-Word puts the first row on page 1, leaving it half empty. It puts row 2 on
the top of page 2 and then, strangely, *does* break row 3 across pages
(starting on page 2 and continuing on page 3).
If someone can explain this behavior and tell me how to fix it, I would
really really like to know.
Sincerely,
Mathijs
