I have a table that covers one whole page. How can I add another page with the same table properties?

    Yet one more suggestion, if you want to be able to reuse this table structure...

    Select the entire table, then under Insert > Table > Quick Tables, add your Table to Quick Tables. It will then be available under the Quick Tables menu in all your documents. You may want to delete the contents before you save it.

    See https://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/tables.htm#QuickTables

    What is the best approach depends on which end result you are trying to achieve.

    If you just want the table to continue onto the next page, add rows and content as desired, and the table will go to the next page when the first page is "full."

    If you want to duplicate the table, use copy and paste. Unlike page layout programs or presentation programs, Word and other word processors do not offer a simple way to duplicate a whole page.

    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    Are you trying to continue the same table onto a second page, or create a new page with a copy of the same table format?

    If you just want the table to continue to the next page, Word normally does that automatically when you press Tab in the last cell of the table.

    If you want another page with the same table layout:

    • Select the whole table.
    • Press Ctrl + C.
    • Go to the next page. Press Ctrl + Enter if needed.
    • Press Ctrl + V to paste the same table.

    Also, what version of Word are you using? And is the table stopping at one page or getting cut off?

    To add another page that continues the same table and keeps its properties in Word, extend the existing table rather than creating a new one.

    1. Click in the last row of the existing table.
    2. Press Tab to add a new row. Keep pressing Tab (or use Layout → Insert Below) to add as many rows as needed.
    3. When the table reaches the bottom of the page, Word automatically continues the same table on the next page, preserving the table’s formatting and properties.
    4. If the table is very long and spans multiple pages, set the header row to repeat on each page if needed:
      • Select the header row.
      • Go to Table Layout → Data → Repeat Header Rows.

    This way, the table remains one continuous table with identical properties across pages.
