Trouble-shooting tables in Word / deleting a page
This also applies to 2003.
I regularly encounter problems with using tables in Word - and am asked for help regarding the same issue.
What happens is that I am entering content into the table and when the table hits the end of the page, the content starts disappearing as if it is going underneath the page out of site.
I have played around ith the table properties and ticking and unticking what the row can do but this does not seem to work.
Also, I sometimes have difficulty delting a page which has been added but is then not needed. Sometimes a backspace / delted works but other times it seesm impossible using these methods.
Can you help, please?
Thank-you.

Hi Carole-ann,
Thank you for your question.
Can you check the following things:
1. Are there any section or column breaks either in the table or the page?
2. Are there any stlyes applied?
3. Check the table row settings.
4. Check paragraph settings.
If you are happy to, could you please send me the document so I can have a look at it to sk
Regards
Simon

Hi Carole-ann,
Thank you for sending me the file.
I believe the problem is the fact that the table has been created inside a text box and the text box is set to be a fixed size.
What I would advise is to recreate the Person, Available to table. Copy all the text from that table and paste special it into a new document as unformatted text. Highlight the data and go choose the Table - Convert - Text to Table and click OK on four columns. You can then use the format painter to copy your heading style from the original document onto the new headings created.
Select a cell in the top row and select Split table. In the blank row created copy the paragraph starting Dear Staff... and ending with Carole and paste special it as formatted text into the blank row.
For each table go to table properties and either tick or untick the 'Allow row to break across pages' option.
Repeat the same procedure specified on the first paragraph for the text in the table that begins Topic.
Please find attached a copy of the document that I have recreated.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon
