# 6606 - Row Unexpectedly Moving to Next Page |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
You have a table that extends to multiple pages. Your table contains several lines of text in the row closest to the bottom of a page. As you type in that row, WordPerfect moves the entire bottom row to the next page, leaving too much white space below the table at the end of the first page. |
Answer:
Insert a row in the table immediately above the row that was moved to the next page. Then move part of the text to the new row. 1. With the cursor in the row of the table that has the text you want to divide, press Columns/Table (Alt+F7), then press Insert. 2. Choose Rows (1), then type 1 for the Number of Rows. Press Enter to add the blank row. 3. Press Exit (F7) to exit the Table Editor. Now that you are back to your document screen, you now need to block and move part of the text. 4. Position the cursor at the start of the text you want to divide. 5. Press Alt+F4 to turn Block on. 6. Move the cursor to the end of the text you want to move, which is immediately before the word you were typing when WordPerfect moved the text to the next page. 7. Press Move (Ctrl+F4), then choose Block (1). 8. Choose Move (1) to move the text. 9. Position the cursor in the new row of the table, then press Enter. |
Details:
A block of text in your document may need to belong together for the sake of appearance or clarity. WordPerfect lets you protect a block of text if you want it to stay together. In some instances, WordPerfect is designed to always treat text as if it were block-protected. Text in a table row is treated this way. Because WordPerfect block-protects text in table rows, each row of a table remains intact. If the contents of a row extend beyond the bottom of a page, WordPerfect places the whole row on the next page. Be sure you have completely edited your document before you use the following solution, because if you change your document later, you will have two rows where you only want one.
