With this in mind, I went to the last row of the 1st table and inserted two new rows below it (by pressing ‘return’ and then F4 to repeat the action). Could these two rows have been imported from another file, perhaps a file composed in a different version of Word? This apparent anomaly attracted my attention. I then noticed that the 2nd table had only two rows! In this way I discovered that what I thought was one table consisted in fact of three tables, each with its little box with the cross marking the beginning of that table, but with no space between them. The shading stopped at a line which was thicker than the boundaries between the other rows, as mentioned before on this list. Then I tried selecting the table and, upon scrolling down, I discovered that the whole table had not been selected. At first I was puzzled and, thinking that I had made some kind of mistake, tried several times to fix the problem, but to no avail. However, just recently I discovered that one of my files could not be put into alphabetical order. I have been using tables for many years, and this has been comparatively trouble-free. So, all that is to say - another option you should check if you're encountering a situation where one cell of an otherwise-compliant table won't break where it is supposed to - see if there's a specified height to the cell in the Row tab under Table Properties. I removed it and instantly the table started breaking with the page as I had been after. I did all of the checking/unchecking that is mentioned here and at other advice boards, but to no avail.Īfter about an hour of beating my head against a wall I calmed down and just methodically went though every option available relating to the table and noticed that in the cell that should have been broken into the bottom of one page and the top of the next (but was instead getting moved to the next page in its entirety) had a specified height (Table Properties/Row tab). I just had a situation where my table was breaking with the cells before the bottom of the page and leaving a blank spot at the bottom of ONE PAGE in just ONE SECTION of a 30-PAGE TABLE. If desired, you can then adjust the positioning of the columns so that the columns match between the two tables – this isn’t required but you may want to do it if the columns are supposed to be the same throughout. Once you’ve done this, the tables will be joined to make one single table. Experiment with this key combination – I’m sure you will love it. It also works on a single row so you can take one row from one table and move only it to join up with another table or to become a table all of its own. You can also drag one table up or down until it joins but this method is very slick. If you have selected the topmost table, then press Alt + Shift + ↓ until the top table locks onto the table below. Keep pressing the key until the top row that you have selected joins the bottom border of the one above. If the table is underneath the one you want to join it up to, then press Alt + Shift + ↑ to move the table up the document so that it joins the bottom of the table before it. To do this, first select over all the cells in one of the two tables. The solution is simple but way from obvious. Quite often you’ll find that you have two tables in a Word document and you want to join the two together to make just one table.
