Hi there, 

I have previously asked for help with creating a "column" down the right hand side of a set of Minutes I am preparing.  The advice given was to use tables instead of creating columns.  However, now that I have created the table, there is a large gap on the page (see attached pic).

The gap is quite far up on the page and then the next set of cells are on the second page, with this huge gap in the middle.

How can I keep all the tables and contents together so that they run on like a normal document would (i.e. without tables).  

Any help much appreciated; currently tearing my hair out! 

Thanks, 

FP 

I don't see an attached picture. Perhaps you could upload a sample document to Microsoft OneDrive (https://onedrive.live.com), FileDropper (http://filedropper.com) or DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com)

Then share the document and post a link to the shared document in a reply.

I forgot to attach - doh! 

Here it is attached.  

I have since had a look and according to some blogs I have read the only way to do this is to make a new cell for each paragraph, but to me this seems extremely inconvenient and fiddly!  I may have been better just creating a column after all, but I have no idea how to get it to work the way I want it.  Anyway that's besides the point, if I can get the table working without having to create a new cell each time I take a new paragraph I'd be a happy chappie. 

Thanks again,

Try this:

• Click anywhere in the table.
• Press Alt+Num 5 to select the entire table.
• Right-click and select Table Properties from the context menu.
• Activate the Row tab of the Table Properties dialog.
• Make sure that the "Allow row to break across pages" check box is ticked.
• Click OK.

Sorry it's taken a while to reply - I've been caught up with the aforementioned mammoth task in question and this answer is so simple and straightforward (compared to what I found doing a Google search) and has solved the problem exactly as I needed.  

Thanks!
