WINDOWS

Summary:

If you place two tables consecutively in a Microsoft Word for Windows document, you must include an intervening paragraph; as a minimum, a paragraph mark must exist between the two tables. If you delete the paragraph mark between the two tables, the tables combine to make one large table. A forced page break (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) cannot prevent this combination; you must use a paragraph mark.

Note: If you delete the paragraph mark following a page break, the page break is also deleted if no other text exists between two tables.

More Information:

The necessary extra paragraph mark creates an additional linefeed. To prevent this problem, use the following steps:


 * 1) Position the cursor at the beginning of the row that is positioned on the next page.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
 * 3) Select the Page Break Before check box.
 * 4) Choose the OK button.

This procedure creates a break between rows without the paragraph mark between them.
