This article was previously published under Q155145 SYMPTOMS
When you click in a blank table cell at the top of the page, the cell to
the left is selected (highlighted) instead.
This happens when all of the following conditions are true:
- You are in page layout view.
-and-
- The row you are clicking in is continued from the previous page, rather
than starting on the current page
-and-
- The cell to the left contains text that has flowed from the previous
page.
CAUSE
There is no end of cell or paragraph mark in the portion of the cell you
are selecting.
WORKAROUND
Move to the bottom of the previous page, and click in the cell you're
trying to select. Press ENTER until the insertion point moves to the top of
the next page. You can now successfully click in the cell at the top of the
page.
MORE INFORMATION
Table rows are set to Allow Row To Break Across Pages by default. When text
in one cell of a table row causes the table row to break to the next page,
all the cells in that row increase in height and break across the page
break. A cell that does not have sufficient text in the cell to flow to the
next page keeps its end of cell marker or its paragraph mark above the
page break. Thus, there is no end of cell mark or paragraph mark in the
remainder of the cell that has broken to the next page.
