Default How much space is available on a page before inserting a table?

Hi All,



Is there a way to determine how much space is available on a page before inserting a table? and if there's not enough space then insert the table on the next page.

There is no need to do that. Simply format all paragraphs is the table, except for the last paragraph in each cell, with the 'keep with next' attribute. That way, Word will also apply the required layout even if the document is edited afterwards.

Paul,

Thank you. I didn't provide enough information so I have follow up question. Will "keep with next" help with the following scenario?

All the tables in the document have the same number of rows. The top 3 rows have fixed height but the rest of the rows vary in height, depending on how much text they contain. Some tables span two full pages.
The table sorting routine inserts line breaks in between tables. Occasionally, the routine places the top three rows of a table at the bottom of a page and the remaining rows of the same table on the following page(s). This is what I'm trying to resolve: When the top 3 rows of a table are at the bottom of a page (this doesn't happen every time), the sorting routine will insert a page break instead of line break and force the table onto the next page.

Does this make sense?

If all you want to avoid is header rows being on a different page than the rest of the table, all you need do is format the header rows with the 'keep with next' property.
