Issue with splitting a table
Hi Everybody,
I have a simple but long table that extends over two pages. To solve this, I wanted to split the table at say row 12. When I select "Split Table", WORD seems to merge several rows on top of the original table. What am I doing wrong? Many Thanks, Paul |

Could you share a sample document which illustrates this?
You can upload your sample as a file attachment in this thread.

You can also split the table - but where is your cursor when you hit Split Table? Typically you want to be on the row that will be the first row of the second table, not the last row of the first table. I'm not sure why rows are merging. Would have to see an example. You'll have to make a new set of headers if you split them into two. Are you sure you're hitting Split Table and not Split Cells? - Ann |

Hi Ann & Stefan,
I appreciate that you've both given my issue some of your time to help me with this. It's not the only table in my document that I've split, but this one table keeps misbehaving. I've attached a screenshot of what the document looks like after I try to split this one table. I wanted to split because I need to include some explanation text between the two mini-tables. Thanks Again, for your time thinking this over for me -Paul- |

It appears that your table is set to float (have text wrapping turned on) so it can be difficult to manage when it is bigger than one page. If you change the table properties so that it is Inline with the text you will avoid these issues.

As Paul (Guessed) said, the table appears to be overlapping another table, probably because of the Text Wrapping. In the Table Properties, try changing the Text Wrapping to "None."
