Page breaks in a Word for Windows table viewed in Normal view may not be
displayed as expected. Sometimes the page break appears at the sides of the
table, and sometimes it appears within one or more of the row cells only.
CAUSE
This behavior is dependent upon whether there are multiple lines within a
table cell at the page break and whether "Allow row to break across pages"
has been selected for the particular row of the table. This setting is
found by:
- On the Table menu, click Cell Height and Width, and then select the Row
tab.
- Under Indent from Left, select or clear the "Allow row to break across
pages" check box.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: In the following examples, the page break is indicated with a
dotted line (.....).
