Word: table splitting across pages
I have a table in word, I want all the rows of the table to remain in the same page when new lines are added above it. i.e. if of four rows, the last table won't fit in the page, the whole table should move to the next page.
I have followed the following steps:
- Table properties>row> uncheck 'Allow rows to break across pages'
- Select all rows of table and then Paragraph>line and Page breaks> check 'Keep with next'
For some reason the table still splits across pages
Note: The rows on the table have different heights
- Thank you, that works for me, too.
Stefan_Blom This is also what I thought, yet it no longer works for me in Word 365 & features are also now very difficult to find in the confounded ribbon! It used to work most of the time in previous versions of Word where things could intuitively be found in the menus. I am extremely frustrated with Microsoft!
- This is the correct way to do it. For me it also works with Office365. The option can be found on the Home tab under Paragraph->Advanced options.
Well, what is the right choice for your document will depend on the end result you want to achieve, of course.
I am not sure which "advanced" paragraph options you are referring to, though.
JitheshR The last paragraphs in the last row of the table should not be formatted so that they are kept with next.
Another thing to try is to insert the table inside a one cell table for which the row is formatted to prevent breaking across a page.
JitheshR select the whole table > go to layout tables > select properties option > go to row tab > unmark (allow row to break across pages)
for tables within tables, note that selecting all tables within a table does not apply the change to them all
