When you paste text into tables many times rather than flowing the text onto the next page it merely flows below the parameters of the table hiding the text. If you resize the table (margin) many times you can make it big enough to show all the text, but other times you suddenly have a half page that is blank. Does anyone have a solution? or know why it does this? Thanks for your time. - Renee

I assume this is in Word. Here is the info on Word 2000. Other versions will be similar.

Click on the cell, then click on Table, then select Table Properties. Click on Row. There is a checkbox to allow the row to break across a page. Check the box. Click OK.

Good luck.

Richard, thanks for the answer. But, it's already checked! If I had been thinking clearer I would have added that and that it is Word 97! Thanks though! Oh how I wish it would just work the way it's suppose to ;-) You know I think something happens when you create a table. It doesn't always happen, and I can't always re-create the problem. That's the most frustrating part! - Renee
