WD: Soft Page Breaks Appear Misplaced in Tables in Normal View (195141)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q195141 SYMPTOMS
Page breaks in a Word for Windows table in Normal view may not appear as
expected. Sometimes the page break appears at the sides of the table, and
sometimes it appears within one or more of the row cells only.
CAUSE
This behavior depends upon whether there are multiple lines within a table
cell at the page break and whether "Allow row to break across pages" has
been selected for the particular row of the table. To find this setting,
do
the following:
- On the Table menu, click Cell Height and Width, and then select the Row
tab.
- Under Indent from Left, select or clear the "Allow row to break across
pages" check box.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: In the following examples, the page break is indicated with a
dotted line (.....).
