1. Confused as to why the table is jumping to next page and not beginning directly under the Appendix heading.

2. When I attempt to sort the table i get error message: Word cannot sort this table because all of it's rows are table headings

Note: This doc template i used for this doc was an older version that I converted to new format.

Thank You for your time and consideration!

To solve the issue, look first at your second point. Select the entire table and right click it and go to Table Properties > Row > Uncheck the "Repeat as header row at the top of each page"
Then select only the first row of the table and go back to the same place and turn this setting on just for that row.

If the table hasn't flowed back onto the previous page, select all the rows except the first row and press Alt-D to open the Paragraph formatting dialog. On the Line and Page Breaks Tab ensure that 'Keep with Next' is turned off.

It the table still hasn't flowed back onto the previous page, select the entire table again and right click for Table Properties > Table > ensure that 'Text wrapping' is set to None.

Thanks very much, it worked! By the way I love your avatar, that was perhaps my very favorite Larson of all time!
