If all else fails, try selecting the table, converting it to text, and then converting it back into a table. You check the compatibility settings by clicking Tools | Options | Compatibility tab.
If the document is based on an old template, or the document was originally created in a very old version of Word, then it is possible that the compatibility settings are causing some weird text flowing problems. Right-click the table, choose Properties, display the Table tab, and click None in the Text Wrapping area.Īnother thing to check is the compatibility settings used within Word. You can edit the value of some of the standard properties (e.g. The standard properties have fixed names that you cannot change. Title, Author, Keywords, and Comments.These properties are used to store certain types of metadata about your document. If text wrapping for the table is turned on, then it can cause problems with the table extending beyond the bottom of the page. All Word documents contain a set of standard document properties, e.g. There is another table property worth checking. Right-click the table, choose Properties, display the Row tab, and select the Allow Row to Break Across Pages check box. If the table has a single row, and that row extends longer than a page, then Word once again gets a bit confused. You can set them up so that rows don't break across pages, meaning that a row won't split between two pages. Next thing to check is the formatting of the table rows. Select all the paragraphs in the table, display the Line and Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box and clear the Keep with Next check box. Each paragraph tries to stay on the same page as the following paragraph, and since they can't all fit on the same page, Word can get a bit confused. If the paragraphs have the "Keep with Next" setting selected, then it can cause problem with the flowing of the paragraphs within the table. That way, if one of the fixes works, you'll see the table flow as it should to the next page.įirst of all, check the formatting of the paragraphs used within the table. Before trying anything, however, make sure that your table is exhibiting the problem, meaning that it has text that flows beyond the bottom margin of the page. There are several possible causes for the problem, Pam, and you'll have to try a few things to see what works. Pam wonders how she can fix the behavior. It is still there if she deletes rows further up then the text becomes visible. In the table, when she reaches the bottom of a page, instead of automatically going onto the next one, the text disappears off the sheet.
