Keeping Table Rows on the Same Page
Summary: Do you want your table rows to be split between pages? Word allows you to format the table so that rows stay together and don't split. How you do the formatting depends on the version of Word you are using.For some documents, it is par for the course to have tables extend from one page to another. As your tables get larger, Word automatically breaks tables so the most information can get on each page. This may mean that a row of your table may start on one page and end on the following page. Obviously, this is not acceptable for some tables. You may have the need to make sure that entire rows of your table stay together.
To make sure that Word doesn't break a particular row of your table, follow these steps:
- Select the row (or rows) that you want to keep together.
- Make sure the Layout tab of the ribbon is displayed.
- Click the Properties tool in the Table group at the left of the ribbon. Word displays the Table Properties dialog box.
- Make sure that the Row tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Make sure the Allow Row to Break Across Pages check box is cleared.
- Click your mouse on OK.
If you are not sure about where a table may break (or even if it will), but you want to make sure that no row of the table is divided, you simply need to select the entire table in step 1 rather than selecting a single row.
