autotext and tables

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I use a form to insert autotext into a doc. This particular autotext is in
tabular format. My problem is that some of the rows when inserted will span
multiple pages and the next row down will start after. (Which is a good
thing) However some of the rows, when inserted will span multiple pages and
then force a page break before the next row starts.

I hope the above makes sense. Any ideas on how I can force the rows/cells to
stay together? Whether it be some clean-up code or on insertion into the doc.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

The difference may be due to some formatting that was applied to the
table rows at the time you defined the autotext entries. Go through
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/ControlPgBrksInTables.htm to
see if any of the factors listed there apply to the rows that cause
breaks.

Thanks Jay, I appreciate the help. I'll compare my row breaks with this.

Thanks!
