SYMPTOMS
Page breaks in a Word for Windows table viewed in Normal view may not be displayed 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 is dependent 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. This setting is found by:
 * 1) On the Table menu, click Cell Height and Width, and then select the Row tab.
 * 2) 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 (.....).

Example of a table where the page break occurs within an empty row:     |                            |                            | -    |                            |                            | ..... -...........     |                            |                            |      -     |                            |                            | Examples of a table where the page break occurs within a row containing one paragraph of text:     |                                                         | -    | This is sample text this is|                            | | sample text this is sample |                           | | text this is sample text  |                            | |............................|                           |     | this is sample text this is|                            | | sample text this is sample |                           | -    |                                                         |
