Stop Word From Splitting My Tables

Stop Word From Splitting My Tables

Anonymous

Word will not allow me to stop my tables splitting. I have tried to unselect "Allow row to break across pages" and I have also tried "keep lines together" and "keep with next", but nothing has any effect. I am certain the Table can fit.

Is there anything else I can try?

Answer 1

The option "Allow row to break across pages" must be activated for all the rows. You can select the rows before accessing the Table Properties dialog box.

"Keep with next" is effective if you select whole rows before choosing that option in the Paragraph dialog box. Remember that you must apply this setting to all rows except for the last one.

As far as I know, the online versions of Word do not fully support these settings.

Is this possible with the Word app in Teams? I know that functionality is limited in Teams, but I hoped to be able to avoid tables splitting into several pages and creating so much white space. I've tried:

Selecting the table rows
Selecting Paragraph Options from the Home/Paragraph section
Selecting Keep with next

That doesn't work, and I don't know if it's a Teams version limitation or something else. Thanks for the help!
